The Ideal Home Show at Christmas

The UK’s biggest Christmas event is back and bigger than ever, transforming Earls Court into a winter wonderland for the final time before the iconic venue is knocked down for redevelopment. As you’d expect from a show with over 650 exhibitors, there’s more yuletide cheer than you can shake a stick at. With stalls across 7 different sectors, gift buying opportunities will be plentiful, and you’ll probably hunt down something you’d never see on the high street, too. There’s also a whole host of celebrities offering advice on all things festive, including TV chef Gino D’Acampo and floral shirted former Changing Rooms expert Laurence Llewelyn Bowen, while Masterchef’s Greg Wallace will be cooking up Christmas dinner. Once you’re all shopped out, take a break and glide around the ice rink (£5 adult, £3.50 children for 20 min session).
