The Surrey Area of NAFAS is committed to promoting the art of flower arranging through workshops, demonstrations, education and competition. It is actively working to promote NAFAS and to attract new members from its Surrey residents.

The Judges, Demonstrators, Speakers and Teachers Group at Surrey Area is very active and holds workshops for its membership, as well as ensuring the NAFAS trained Judges, Demonstrators, Speakers and Teachers keep their skills honed, Surrey Area also offers certificated NAFAS Flower Arranging Courses and is running one in early 2026.

The Surrey Area of NAFAS staged a very successful show at the Dell Centre, Ashtead in the summer of 2024 and are planning another at the end of November in 2026. In alternate years we have an Area Member’s Day with demonstrations, exhibitions, talks and lunch.

• Organises a group of member volunteers who arrange flowers at Ham House during the summer months from flowers picked in the Ham House gardens.
