Dried Flower Wreath

About the Workshop Join us for a thoughtfully curated floral workshop where you’ll design and create your own dried flower wreath. In this luxury wreath-making experience, you’ll work with a beautiful selection of seasonal dried flowers, such as dried hydrangeas, oak leaves, grasses, oat, barley, and wheat, delicately paired with fresh eucalyptus and limonium. The result is a timeless, long-lasting wreath designed to be admired for months to come. With our qualified florists’ professional guidance, you’ll be expertly led through each stage of the design process. No experience is required — just come along and enjoy a moment of creative indulgence.

Ben

I cant believe I'm actually excited about a hanger. Perhaps I've finally reached that stage in life where leaving my wetsuit in a heap is no longer acceptable and putting on a dry wetsuit in the morning that isn't full of grit is really rather appreciated, Maybe I've finally grown up at the age of 50 (ish)? So, if you want something that does the job it is designed for and built properly, get youself a c-monsta and you too can feel like a big boy.

C-Monsta Wetsuit Hanger V2 - Orange (UK) 06/08/2026 Lorna Stanger Delighted again! Delighted again with service , product ( most obviously) and delivery , brilliant ! C-Monsta Structured Split Bag (UK) 06/05/2026 Alan Leech Awesome Quality! I’ve had the C-Monsta hangers for a good while now and knowing the quality of them I had no hesitation in split bag and change mat. Both are awesome quality and excellent value for money in my opinion. Going to last us many a year of boating, surfing and diving . C-Monsta Structured Split Bag (UK) 06/05/2026 Paul Weatherall Can't imagine life without it now Absolute game changer. I had no idea how much i needed the changing mat hanger and split bag until using it. Its all well designed and the highest quality. Buying all three is totally worth it and will make coming out the sea and getting changed an absolute pleasure rather than a chore.and the best thing is it all collapses flat so easy to store. Highly recommend.
