Become a Patron

In the heart of historic Winchester, within the awe-inspiring setting of the Cathedral, Wild! invites you to step into a world where nature takes centre stage. Inspired by the untamed beauty and extraordinary diversity of the natural world, this vibrant festival celebrates flowers and foliage not just as decoration, but as powerful expressions of creativity, emotion, and wonder.

Hundreds of talented floral artists will transform the Cathedral into a living gallery of large-scale botanical installations. Every corner will offer a new encounter with nature’s artistry, reimagined in colour, texture, and form.

But Wild! offers more than visual splendour. Throughout the festival, visitors can enjoy hands-on workshops, live demonstrations of botanical artistry, and imaginative performances that add a touch of theatre and surprise to the experience.

It promises to be a richly engaging celebration, and we warmly invite you to become part of it.
