This is a National Bonsai Event for bonsai trees that have been created strictly from British material trees — nothing from overseas will be exhibited. Anyone is eligible to submit trees for selection for exhibition at the event. Vendors can trade for free on the lawn adjoining the north side of the hall but must first apply to do so.
