A world of homes to explore
One of the biggest home and lifestyle events of its kind, the 2012 Ideal Home Show London event includes a range of exciting attractions. Visitors can make their way through several separate zones and attractions, from sustainable houses to the latest concept in living designs.
Celebrity guests
A line up of celebrity guests will be present throughout the event and demonstrations on a range of topics will also be taking place. Expert speakers will all share the secrets of exclusive home design with design hungry Londoners, whilst celebrity chefs will heat things up with their top cooking tips. Hear from the likes of Allan Titchmarsh, Linda Barker, George Clarke, Gregg Wallace, Fiona Phillips and Suzi Perry on all things food, gardening and interiors inspired.
Ideal woman
Ladies can take a break from walking around the Ideal Home Show London event at the Beauty Bar, where there will be plenty of pampering. If all that talk on interior design has got just a bit too much then you can relax with a refreshing manicure or make up lesson, and get some top tips on health and fitness too. Or check out the catwalk shows where the latest fashions will be on show, before hitting the stalls and taking home a little something extra for your wardrobe.
New for 2012
Running ever since 1908, the Ideal Home Show London event has been inspiring the masses to decorate, design and delight in their homes with creative tips from the experts and stunning new collections of homeware on show. To reflect the current economic climate and concerns for the environment, the 2012 show will also feature simple and creative ways to reduce your carbon footprint and live sustainably and economically, but most of all, stylishly, in your home.
Advice and inspiration
Having been around for over 100 years, there are some great new advances on show at this Ideal Home Show. London will be treated to the three brand new show homes for this year's show, including: The Prince's House, which is a low energy arts and crafts themed house; the Santiago Town House, which will be the first three storey house to be built at the show; and the Swedish House, which demonstrates the Swedish ideals of innovative, modern and sustainable living.
Kitchen theatre
Packed with stylish ideas for the heart of your own home, the Kitchen theatre is also home to some of the best culinary experts in the world. Take part in a Q&A or catch a kitchen demo to learn more about the art of cookery and fine dining. There's also the chance to dine at the Greg Wallace Cafe and check out the celebrity pudding lover's own cuisine.
Charity
Last year, the show raised a huge amount for its Ideal Home for Heroes appeal, and this year the Ideal Home Show hopes to collect even more. With this year's charity yet to be announded, you can be sure that more money from every ticket purchased will be going towards a very worthy charity, so you can do your bit for the 2012 appeal while you browse for ideas for your own home.
