What’s On
There’s lots going on at Easton, both in The Courtyard and in the Gardens themselves.
From low-key Apple Picking Days to our ever popular Sausage Stroll Dachshund-only meet-up, and from watercolour painting courses to Pizza and Prosecco evenings, there’s something happening all year round.
Yoga in the gardens
Start your weekend with a gentle uplifting yoga class in the white space garden at Easton Walled Gardens, led by Laura Jekyll. Returning after a very popular first year, these relaxed somatic sessions use slow, mindful movement to ease tension, improve mobility and restore balance to body and mind without pressure to push or perform. Through small, intentional movements, somatic yoga build body awareness, helps release stress and supports long term resilience. Classes are suitable for all levels and beginners are very welcome. Please bring your own mat and dress for the weather as we practise outdoors in everything except the most inclement conditions. Tickets are £18 and includes admission to the gardens.
Summer Blooms: A Garden Painting Series
Led by botanical artist and illustrator Imogen Joyce, this summer workshop series invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and find a moment of calm within the beauty of Easton walled Gardens. Each session blends gentle mindfulness with observational drawing and painting, encouraging people to appreciate the small details in daily life and the natural world. Through watercolour techniques and creative exploration, you will learn how to look closely, breathe deeply, and create artwork inspired by the garden’s seasonal blooms. Session 1: Seasonal Stems, Sunday 2nd August 3pm – 5pm In this session, you will be guided through a mindful exploration of the garden’s midsummer blooms, close observation and a deep appreciation of the forms, textures and rhythms found in each stem. Beginning with gentle warmup exercises and loose watercolour studies, helping to relax into the process and capture the essence of each flower through expressive colour and shape. Techniques will be introduced for building more detailed botanical paintings -exploring structure and layering. Session 2: Stories in bloom Sunday 6th September 3pm – 5pm Starting with a an introduction to folklore, emotional associations, and cultural symbolism of selected late summer flowers. You will be encouraged to reflect on how these stories resonate with their own experiences, and how narrative can shape the way we see and paint the natural world. From this you will complete a series of drawing and watercolour activities that move between expressive sketching and more detailed botanical studies. You’ll explore how line, colour, and compassion can be used to communicate mood, memory and meaning – allowing you to create artwork that feels both personal and connected to the garden. Tickets are £60 for each session. All materials are provided on the day.
