F.L.O.C.K, formerly With Wild Abandon, was founded by Sophie Eley. Sophie established herself as a wedding and events florist in 2015. A keen eye for detail and finding beauty in the unexpected. Utterly governed by the seasons and with a real desire to use only British / locally grown flowers and foliage.
Say hello to F.L.O.C.K, an umbrella brand that will encompass more than just flowers. A natural gatherer of people, beautiful things,
Please do join me for the next chapter. I am excited to see where it takes us.

Flowers are at the heart of what F.L.O.C.K does. Sourcing, picking, growing and curating with the best of what nature has to offer at the time. For your best and worst of days.
As well as this, F.L.O.C.K serves as a welcoming convening place for artisans who are dedicated to crafting wonderful and unique things. In a world increasingly dominated by mass-produced items, we yearn for the timeless, the treasured, and those special, one-of-a-kind creations that tell a story.
Our thoughtfully curated events bring together talented makers from both near and far, designed to create interesting and engaging ‘flocks’ of creativity in stunning and inviting spaces.

Events
We warmly invite you to join us for our very first Winter Gathering, which will be held on the 6th & 7th of December at Kingsettle Stud on The Cholderton Estate. Please come and celebrate with us as we give F.L.O.C.K a warm and enthusiastic welcome in honour of the talented makers and artisans in our community.
Artists, makers and purveyors of beautiful and useful things will be found (as well as Santa’s ‘reindeer’) in the stables of this handsome Victorian courtyard.
Tickets can also be booked to visit Father Christmas himself (please book in advance, recommended for ages 2-8ish), collect your DIY wreath kit, do some Christmas shopping and tuck into something delicious around a fire pit under festoon lighting. Guaranteed to get you feeling festive!
Please do sign up to our newsletter to hear of more gatherings across the UK.
