COMPETITIONS
We've got an action packed weekend of competitions planned for FleurEx 2026. The competition rooms will be busy from before the show opens on Saturday, until the end of the day on Sunday. Whether you're a keen competitor hoping to win a trophy, or just want to pop in and see what it's all about - everyone is welcome!
Come and see what's happening...
The competition rooms will be open for viewing throughout the weekend (except for limited times for H&S reasons).
On Saturday you can come and watch some of the best competitors from around the UK competing LIVE for the UK Florist of the Year and UK Florist of the Year: Newcomer titles.
Then on Sunday you can admire all of the pre-made designs created by competitors hoping to win the top prizes across a range of schedules.
Saturday
UK Florist of the Year Finals
The heats for UK Florist of the Year take place across the country as part of our HUB Meetings, as we connect with florists nationwide and search for the very best talent in two categories:
- UK Florist of the Year: Newcomer (under 5 years’ experience)
- UK Florist of the Year (over 5 years’ experience)
Held throughout May and June, these regional heats lead up to the Live Finals at FleurEx on Saturday 3rd October. The top six scoring competitors in each category from across the UK will be invited to compete live for the prestigious title - and, of course, the trophy!
For more information about the UK Florist of the Year Competitions, or to enter at a regional heat, visit our Hub Meetings Page.
