Spring Flower Show

Display of daffodils at the Spring Flower Show The Society holds a Spring Flower Show on the first Saturday in April (except for 2019, when it is 30 March) and a summer show on the first Saturday in August. The shows are held in Nailsea School, Mizzymead Road, Nailsea.

More than 300 visitors attended the 2018 Spring Show, which was held on Saturday 7 April in Nailsea School, providing a welcome splash of colour to a day that started out overcast and threatening rain.

We had 15 new exhibitors entering the show for the first time, and about 80 entries more than last year.

Despite very difficult growing conditions with extremely low temperatures in early March, the quality of daffodils was excellent. Rodney Veale of Kingston Seymour won three of the major multi-vase daffodil classes and was presented with two National Daffodil Society medals for the Best and Reserve Best Exhbiits in the show.

Visitors were entertained by the excellent Filton Concert Brass Band. Teas and cakes were so popular that supplies ran out, but exhibitors kindly provided extra cakes from their winning exhibits.
