The Kirkwood: Mother's Day in Bloom display at Oakwell Hall

About the event

For just £30, your handcrafted metal peony will be added to the installation in the walled garden of Oakwell Hall, contributing to a carpet of pink blooms for you and the public to visit from Sunday 8th March until Sunday 12th April.

When you dedicate a handcrafted peony, you aren't just helping a charity – you are securing a handcrafted piece of art and supporting our stunning installation this spring.

If you have already bought your flower but want to make it extra meaningful, you can visit us and add a personal touch.

The Kirkwood Events Team will be at Oakwell Hall from Sunday 8th March, and the following weekend from 13th Friday to Mothering Sunday on the 15th March 2026, from 10am – 3pm, to help you add your personalised marker on the day.

Alternatively, if you can’t attend on those dates, you can collect a marker from The Kirkwood in Dalton. Then simply return it by Thursday 12th March with your handwritten message and we’ll plant it for you.

Once the installation concludes in April, your Peony is yours to keep forever and to take home as a lasting keepsake. Standing 50cm tall and designed to be resilient, these beautiful flowers will become a perfect addition to your home or garden.
