Settle In

Settle In

Arrive at The Secret Reading Room and ease into a calm, creative setting designed for book lovers.
Your table will be laid out with flowers, wrapping materials and everything needed for the workshop, so you can simply take your seat, meet your teacher and get ready to make something beautiful.
No experience is needed, just a love of books and a willingness to try something new.


Choose Your Book

Choose Your Book

Begin by choosing the book that will sit at the centre of your bouquet, along with a selection of flowers and foliage to build around it. This is where your bouquet starts to feel personal, whether you’re drawn to something soft and romantic or a little more simple and understated.


Build Your Bouquet

Build Your Bouquet

With clear guidance from your teacher, you’ll start arranging stems around the book to create the shape of your bouquet.
This part is relaxed and hands on, with simple techniques that make the process feel approachable even if you’ve never worked with flowers before.


Add Floral Details

Add Floral Details

As your bouquet begins to take shape, you’ll add more flowers and greenery to create depth, softness and balance. This is often the moment it all starts coming together, as the book becomes framed by the arrangement and your design begins to feel complete.


Wrap Your Bouquet

Wrap Your Bouquet

Once your bouquet is arranged, you’ll learn how to wrap it neatly using florist style paper. This stage gives the piece its finished look and transforms it from an arrangement on the table into something that feels thoughtful, polished and ready to gift.


Tie The Ribbon

Tie the Ribbon

Add the final details with ribbon and any last adjustments to the flowers or wrapping. Your teacher will be there to help refine the shape, so even the finishing touches feel easy and enjoyable.


Leave With Something Beautifuk

Leave with Something Beautifuk

At the end of the workshop, you’ll head home with a finished flower bouquet with your next read inside. Alongside your bouquet, you’ll take away a lovely couple of hours spent making something by hand in a warm, book filled space.


Spend a relaxed couple of hours inside The Secret Reading Room creating a flower bouquet designed to hold a book at its centre. This workshop brings together two simple pleasures: flowers and books, and turns them into something a little unexpected. Instead of a traditional bouquet, you’ll create an arrangement that holds a book inside, making it a beautiful gift for yourself or a thoughtful gift for a fellow reader in your life.
The workshop takes place inside The Secret Reading Room, a cosy literary space created for women who enjoy quiet, creative experiences. Surrounded by books, flowers, and thoughtfully prepared materials, you’ll have the time and space to slow down and focus on making something by hand.
Your teacher will guide the group throughout the session, demonstrating the techniques used to create and wrap the bouquet while helping everyone bring their arrangement together. The atmosphere is relaxed and beginner-friendly, so you don’t need any previous experience with flowers or crafting to take part.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your finished book bouquet, complete with your next read inside, along with a lovely memory of time spent creating something unique in a calm, book-inspired setting.
Many guests come along on their own, so you’re very welcome to attend solo and enjoy a creative couple of hours in good company.

I created The Secret Reading Room as a cosy literary space in East London for women who love books, creativity and quiet, thoughtful moments.
I have always believed that books deserve spaces where people can slow down and enjoy them in new ways. Not just through reading, but through creative experiences that bring book lovers together.
One of the workshops I host here is the Book Bouquet Workshop.
It is a chance to transform book pages into beautiful decorative bouquets using simple folding techniques. The workshop itself is led by a talented teacher who guides guests through each step, so everyone can relax and enjoy the process.
My role is to create the atmosphere around the experience.
The Secret Reading Room is designed to feel warm, calm and welcoming, a place where you can step away from the noise of everyday life and spend a few hours doing something creative.
Classes are intentionally small so the space always feels friendly and relaxed. Many people come on their own and leave having met other book lovers who share the same appreciation for stories, creativity and cosy spaces.
If you love books and enjoy making something with your hands, you will feel right at home here.
