WELCOME To commemorate this momentous occasion we are staging a Floral Art & Design Show from 8-10 August The iconic and very appropriate Business Design Centre in the heart of London has been chosen as the venue for this major event. The historic and now privately owned Agricultural Halls, situated off the Main Street in Islington, are very much in keeping with our floral roots. We will be encouraging members from every part of the British Isles, along with international members and friends to join together. The main aim of this is to express our passion and love for Floral Art in a way that will enable it to be enjoyed and appreciated by the millions of residents and visitors to the capital during this celebration week. The show itself will have over 450 individual competitive floral designs and a number of stunning installations staged both inside and outside the venue. We are once again hosting the very popular Designer of the Year competition which will take place live over the three show days. There will also be numerous demonstrations, talks, workshops and many other interactive activities to get everyone involved and excited about Floral Art. The emphasis will be on a fun and informative event which will give our creative members and non-members this unique opportunity to demonstrate to everyone their talents in the art that we love, nurture and promote.
