Since April 2025, the BFA have been running heats all over the UK. These took place at our Hub meetings in Glasgow, Northern Ireland, Sheffield, Bristol and London. We were so pleased to see the level of enthusiasm and skill in both of our competitions.
- UK Florist of the Year (5 years + experience)
- UK Florist of the Year: Newcomer (Under 5 years’ experience)
The competitors from each heat were awarded a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, but it is the top 6 scorers from across all the UK Heats that go through to the finals. Finalists will compete live at FleurEx in October with the The UK Florist of the Year winner automatically securing their place in the 2026 finals to compete to represent the UK at Eurofleurs in Spain in 2027.
