BCSS National Plant Fair

Everyone is welcome! You don’t need to be a BCSS Member to come along.

Free Parking!

For the first time, BCSS are holding a Cactus and Succulent National Plant Fair, at NAEC, Stoneleigh, Warwickshire CV8 2LG (select CV8 2LH on sat nav). This is a National event in lieu of a Convention. While the focus will be on plant sales, there will also be talks and other attractions.

The Society is planning to attract as many sellers of succulent plants in the UK as possible, under one roof. In addition to the sales areas there will be displays and information from a number of ancillary societies and groups, as well as two talks by recognised experts of the hobby.

One £10 ticket gives you access to both days, including the talks. Young people aged 18 and under get in free.

On-site catering will be available on both days.

Overnight accommodation is not included in the price, but is available at The Stoneleigh Park Lodge while there is availability. If required, this should be arranged separately.

Sellers booking one or more sales tables will be allocated two free tickets.

Sellers

All sellers are welcome, whether amateur or professional. Sellers buying table space at the Sale get free entry. Do you have some spare plants, decorated pots, or other items to pass on? Why not book a table or two?
