Fonthill House Photography Workshop
Friday The 18th Of July 2025
We are thrilled to offer a very special, one-off garden photography workshop at the breathtaking Fonthill House gardens. With exclusive permission granted for this unique event, it promises to be an inspiring day not to be missed.
This half-day experience begins with a private one-hour guided tour of the gardens, led by Head Gardener Jack Greenwood. Jack will share his expert knowledge of the garden’s design, seasonal highlights, and hidden gems — giving you a deeper understanding and appreciation of the stunning surroundings you’ll be photographing.
Following the tour, Atlas Photography will provide hands-on, guided tuition. You’ll learn how to make the most of natural light, explore creative compositions, and capture the beauty and detail of the gardens with confidence. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this workshop is tailored to help you develop your photography in an inspiring setting.
There is the option of am or pm tours. The am tours will run form 9am until 1pm and the afternoon session will run from 2pm until 6pm. Please use the links below to book your session now.
