Step into the enchanting 350 year old Chelsea Physic Garden, once known as the Apothecary’s Garden, for a spellbinding evening of incense making this Hallowe’en season. As twilight descends along the Thames, join the Perfume Mistress, for an immersive workshop in crafting blends.

Since the days of ancient Egypt and Rome, incense has been used for purification, ceremony, devotion and pure pleasure. Today, with 5,000+ years of tradition and aesthetic refinement at its core, the use of incense is reaching new levels of popularity.

You will be introduced to a variety of plant botanicals and essential oils, via smell and touch. We will explore their history and uses, and you will learn how to select and blend them to create your own beautiful and unique loose incense to take home

Embrace the magic of Hallowe’en week within the Garden’s ancient walls and let your senses be awakened by the alchemy of nature.

Event Details:

• Tickets: £50 per person
