Along with the day of the show, this video by Dan Rance AKA DR Bonsai also demonstrates some of the work with the team that goes into setting up the UKBA EXPO XI. Some of the best bonsai in the UK are on display here, and with the vast space that the K2 leisure centre in Crawley provides, is well attended.

Congratulations to the Expo team, the event was thoroughly enjoyed.

What a great show and a fun day to catch up with everyone and talk trees. Congratulations to the whole team of UKBA who are involved in making it happen year after year and to all those who entered their bonsai displays which were awesome. A special thanks to Simon Haddon who arranged for the Andrew Pearson tribute and all those who supported it by bringing in pots for the display, it was superb and a great way to honour Andy and his talent as an artist.

A few picture galleries of the show below, showing the range of bonsai displays as well as being supported by a brillant group of bonsai traders from across the UK so there were lots of buying opportunities for all your bonsai needs.
