The British Florist Association is delighted to be hosting the European Floristry School again in August 2026 — an inspiring creative experience designed for professional florists who want to learn, collaborate and create alongside their peers.


Monday 10th - Wednesday 12th August 2026


The Designers

This year’s workshop will be led by three exceptional and internationally renowned designers: Daniel Santamaria, Ffion Taverner and Stefan Van Berlo. Across three immersive days, you’ll work closely with these celebrated artists, gaining insight into their techniques, creative processes and distinctive styles.


The Venue

For 2026, we’re excited to welcome you to The Victoria, Sheffield — a fantastic new venue for the European Floristry School. With its character, atmosphere and central location, it provides the perfect backdrop for both the creative workshops and the social side of the event. A wide range of nearby hotel accommodation, together with excellent city-centre transport links, ensures your visit is convenient and hassle-free.

The Social Evening

Tuesday 11th August

Continuing our much-loved tradition, we will also host an optional social evening, including a group meal — always a highlight and a wonderful opportunity to relax and reconnect with friends and colleagues.

New for 2026, The Social Evening will also include a fascinating lecture, and as it is to be hosted at The Victoria, it's completely private and an event in itself. (Further information about the evening will be published soon).

Tickets for the evening can be purchased separately - and you don't have to attend the workshops to join us for this fabulous evening of floral education and socialising.



The Tickets

Tickets are available for individual workshop days, or you can book a full three-day pass at a discounted rate for the complete workshop experience. Lunch is included each day, refreshments are available from the onsite bar, so all you need to bring is yourself and your toolbox.

Tickets for the Social Evening are available to buy separately.
