A Creative Way to Celebrate

Whether you’re crafting a thoughtful gift for Mum, creating something special with family, or simply treating yourself to a relaxing few hours, Create in Bloom is all about celebrating the season and the people who matter most.

Our events team will guide you through handcrafting a beautiful light floral spring wreath, perfect for brightening up your front door or gifting to someone special.

For little ones, we’ll also have extra crafts available, including our sweet ‘Jars of Joy’ activities, so the whole family can get involved.

It’s a relaxed, welcoming space to pause, create and enjoy a little springtime joy together.

Celebrating Mother’s Day, Your Way

Mother’s Day can mean different things to different people. At The Victoria Centre, we simply want to create a space to honour and appreciate the women in our lives - mums, grandmothers, aunties, friends, mentors and role models.

If you’d like to mark the day with something thoughtful, creative and community-focused, we’d love to see you there.
