Grand Designs Live, NEC, Birmingham

The number one show in the UK for property is heading to Birmingham during October.

Grand Designs Live, which is based on the hugely popular Channel 4 TV series presented by Kevin McCloud, is taking over the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham from October 9th until October 11th.

The exhibition is designed for people who have an interest in design, building, interiors, garden, innovation and kitchens or bathrooms, offering visitors a chance to see contemporary designs in practice.

All the items needed to build and furnish and new house are all available under one roof at Grand Designs Live also.

The show's organisers say: "You will find plenty of interactive show features, practical expert advice, and products not available on the high street as well as hundreds of exhibitors."

Available now, tickets for the show can be bought for £13 from the NEC's hotline on 0844 338 8000.

Kevin McCloud launched the Great British Refurb Campaign earlier this year which aims to prompt homeowners across the UK to make their homes more energy efficient.
