Inviting you into a world of bluebells and spring lambs, the Country Living Spring Fair is the perfect way to banish the winter blues. Whether you want to transform your city pad into a country style comfort zone or learn more about eco friendly and organic produce, their is plenty of exciting and inspiring action going on down the farm at the Business Design Centre in Islington.

Get a taste for country living
Homeware, crafts, stylish designs, gardening equipment and plenty more, the Country Living Spring Fair is full to the brim with antidotes to city living. A real breath of fresh air for those that spend 24-seven trapped in a grey and concrete world, and an inspiring place for those with access to their own bit of garden or greenery, the show is full of ideas on how to transform your living space.

Talks
Live talks will either inspire you to start up your own business or grow your own vegetables in a pot, or even just buy some fabulous artisan style artefacts. Wine tasters, interior designers and flower arrangers are just some of the crafty types who will be demonstrating their art at the fair. And there will also be the chane to learn how to wrap presents beautifully from experts on presentation.

Country fare
For those with a sweet tooth, the fair is simply jam packed with delicious country living style treats. Choose from traditional pies, artisan breads, farmers cheeses, preserves and many others. Plus, there will be some extra special Easter treats in store for chocolate lovers too.

Workshops
And as if that wasn't enough to convince you that spring has really sprung, there's the chance to take part in some exciting workshops where you can learn some new skill and techniques. There's natural beauty product making, cupcake decorating classes and chocolate ideas for Easter for starters, as well as the chance to gaze at some natural beauty in the Country Living Spring Fair's Van Hage garden, complete with blooming magnolias and spring shrubs.
