Teignmouth and Dawlish Flower Club
Established back in 1957, Teignmouth and Dawlish Flower Club remains a steady fixture for anyone keen on floral design along this stretch of coastline. Affiliated with NAFAS through the Devon and Cornwall area, the club draws members who enjoy everything from bold contemporary styles to traditional pedestal work. Meetings mix professional demonstrations by accomplished arrangers with practical workshops where everyone gets stuck in, building skills at their own pace.
The atmosphere stays relaxed and inclusive, whether someone has years of experience or just fancies trying something new with flowers. Sessions often feature guest demonstrators tackling themes that spark fresh ideas, followed by chances to handle materials yourself. A sales table keeps useful sundries on hand, and gatherings usually wrap up with tea and homemade cake that adds to the sociable feel.
Club members regularly contribute impressive displays to local events, such as the poetry-themed flower festival at St Michael’s Church in Teignmouth, where intricate arrangements interpret verses in vibrant colour. These outings highlight the talent within the group and connect with wider community happenings.
The club’s long history and active role in area festivals point to a well-regarded spot for sharing knowledge and friendship through flowers. Anyone curious can drop in to sample the welcoming setup firsthand.
