Seoul Forest Hanji Flower Workshop: Dates, Times, Booking, and Fee for May 2026

The Seoul Forest Hanji Flower Workshop is a paid hands-on program scheduled for the opening weekend of the 2026 Seoul Garden Festival. Official program information lists the workshop for May 16 and May 17, 2026, at the Seoul Forest outdoor stage, with three one-hour sessions each day at 13:00, 14:00, and 16:00.¹

This guide focuses on the practical details visitors need before deciding whether to reserve a place. The workshop is part of a wider weekend festival in Seoul Forest, but the key point for participants is simple: places are limited, the program requires a fee, and the booking window is already open before the event weekend.²

Seoul Forest Hanji Flower Workshop: What Is Scheduled

The program is officially titled “Hanji Flower Making Experience” in Korean program listings and is included among the Seoul Garden Festival’s citizen participation programs. Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that the 2026 Seoul Garden Festival will run every weekend from May 16 to June 7, 2026, at Seoul Forest, with performances and participation programs including Hanji flower making, Garden Pharmacy, Art Unfolding in the Park, and Park Snapshot Photo Taking.³

For the Hanji Flower Workshop itself, the official 2026 Seoul International Garden Show program page gives the most specific participation details. It lists the dates as May 16 and May 17, the venue as the Seoul Forest outdoor stage, the session times as 13:00, 14:00, and 16:00, and the duration as one hour per session. Each session is for 20 people with advance reservations, and the participation fee is 10,000 won. The listed instructor is Lee Mina.¹

The Seoul Public Service Reservation page also identifies the program as a cultural experience and educational experience, and it confirms the service period as May 16 to May 17, 2026. It gives the application period as May 1, 2026, at 10:00 through May 17, 2026, at 18:00.² Because the workshop has only 20 reserved places per session, anyone planning around a specific time should check availability rather than assume same-day participation will be possible.

How to Book and Plan Your Visit

The clearest booking route in the source material is the Seoul Public Service Reservation listing for “[2026 Seoul Garden Festival] Hanji Flower Making Experience.” That page provides the application period, service period, venue, and program category.² The application window runs until 18:00 on May 17, 2026, but that does not mean every session will remain available until then. With only three sessions a day and 20 advance-reservation places per session, capacity is limited to the listed reservation quota.¹

Visitors should first choose between Saturday, May 16, and Sunday, May 17. Then choose one of the three listed session times: 13:00, 14:00, or 16:00. Each session is scheduled for one hour, so it is practical to allow extra time before and after the workshop for arrival, check-in, and movement around the Seoul Forest outdoor stage area. The source material does not provide detailed arrival instructions, refund rules, material lists, or age restrictions, so those details should be checked directly on the reservation page before payment or attendance.

The workshop takes place during the opening weekend of the broader Seoul Garden Festival. Seoul’s official announcement frames the festival as a way for visitors to enjoy leisure in an urban garden, quoting Kim Young-hwan of Seoul’s Garden City Bureau as saying the city hopes people can enjoy relaxation in a garden within the city.³ That wider festival context matters because the outdoor stage area may also draw visitors for concerts and other participation programs.

The city’s media outlet “내 손안에 서울” reported that the festival will run around the Seoul Forest outdoor stage area every weekend from May 16 to June 7, and that opening-weekend experience programs, including Hanji flower making, begin from 13:00 on May 16 and 17. It also identifies Hanji flower making as a paid program and repeats the 13:00, 14:00, and 16:00 schedule.⁴

What Else Is Happening at Seoul Forest

The Hanji Flower Workshop is not a stand-alone event; it is one of several activities inside the 2026 Seoul Garden Festival. The city announcement names performances by acts including Leenalchi, Lee Mujin, 10cm, and MeloMance, alongside citizen participation programs.³ ChannelA also reported that performances are planned across the festival period, with opening-weekend performances including Leenalchi and 64ksana, followed from May 23 by artists including Lee Mujin, So Soo-bin, 10cm, Jukjae, and MeloMance.⁵

For someone visiting specifically for the Hanji Flower Workshop, the broader schedule is useful but secondary. The confirmed workshop details are still the dates, venue, times, fee, instructor, and reservation capacity listed by the official program page.¹ If you are also interested in Saturday performances, Seoul Metropolitan Government stated that Saturday performances operate through advance reservations on Seoul Public Service Reservation.³
