The first Newstead Bonsai Extravaganza lived up to its promise to be the premier Bonsai exhibition in the UK!

120 top-class Bonsai were on show in the specially designed exhibition - which evoked the feeling of an art gallery.

Below is a selection of images from the show, giving you a glimpse of the exhibition setting.
