The Gardens are full of inspiration in the autumn months, giving opportunity for colourful photography. Experience layers of fiery golds and reds, swaying grasses, seed heads, berries, and trees in their glorious autumn splendour. You will explore both the technical and creative aspects of photography, gaining the skills to capture the beauty of Hyde Hall's autumnal gardens.

The day will encompass two short classroom sessions, a guided photography walk around the garden, and ample time for exploration and practice of techniques. While a basic understanding of photography is advantageous, this workshop is designed to accommodate individuals of all experience levels.

Tutor: Marion Sidebottom, whose wealth of experience spans both the RHS Photography Competition Portfolio Category and the International Garden Photographer of the Year Competition
