1&2 Oct22 Sat & Sun
The Bonsai Show Live
The International Centre International Way, Telford, Shropshire. TF3 4JH.
As a new event on the UK bonsai calendar, The Bonsai Show Live is a two day event based in a exhibition centre in Telford, Shropshire. The venue offers everything for an event such as The Bonsai Show Live, and the surrounding area offers hotels, restaurants, shopping, and pastimes such as cinema, bowling and ice skating all within a very short walk.
Four overseas bonsai artists were flown in for the event, Rafael Torres (Spain), Morten Albek (Denmark), Tomaz Kovska (Slovenia) and Nacho Salar (Spain). Along with some of the UK’s best artists Tony Tickle, Peter Warren, Harry Harrington and John Armitage performing demonstrations over the weekend.
Due to the central location, the event attracted bonsai retailers from across the UK to the Market Place for visitors to purchase anything bonsai related.
An excellent range of bonsai were on display, despite the issues of a hot summer and a sudden autumn, the owners did a fantastic job of preparing and displaying their trees. The winning bonsai from The Bonsai Show Live 2022 are:
Best Shohin - Duncan Hield with a display of shohin
Best Deciduous - Jonathan Moult for his Hawthorn
Best Coniferous - Caroline Scott for her Scots Pine
Best in Show - Luis Aragon for his Olive
People Choice Award - Simon Temblett for his Cypress
A large number of volunteers are responsible for making the event possible, and thanks go out to those involved as well as to all of the artists, traders and bonsai exhibitors.
The Bonsai Show Live will return in its two day format in 2024, and is planned for the same venue. There is also a one day event being planned to fill the void left behind and is currently scheduled for May 2023.
