For the first time Tatton played host to The British Florist Association Marquee. Regional winners produced extravagant displays in both the WorldSkills UK 2008 Floristry Final and the Teleflorist Designer Championships, crowds enjoyed demonstrations and talks and visited the Floral Design Studio to immerse in the beautiful art of floristry and flower arranging.

In the demonstration area of the marquee some of the country's finest florists shared their skills with the public. All our demonstrators gave their time voluntarily, simply to share their passion for floristry and we are extremely grateful.
