Oooh, i've just looked at the site and I really want to go now.
2 tickets for £11 is a good deal

Does anyone know if this is better than the ideal home show. We went this year and were really disappointed. We were expecting maybe room sets with ideas you could copy, buy etc but apart from a small area the rest was more like a market and I'm sure everyone on qvc left the tv channel to flog there gear

Couldn't agree more with you about the Ideal Home Show. We went with free tickets a couple of years back and even with free tickets we thought we'd wasted our time.

Almost exclusively made up of dreadful cheap tacky stalls selling stuff only idiots would buy.

I agree also about the Ideal home show !, we got free tickets too !, it was not very nice too sqaushed together, and the parking at the NEC was £6.00... I would not go back !...but we did go to Earls Court last year and enjoyed it !, but there was a tube strike so we had to go "around the houses to get there", we stayed overnight, I would not advise driveng in the traffic is awful !, it took an hour to go about one mile !....

I loved Grand Designs (I went a couple of years ago with free tickets, which they often do) - its mostly made up of bigger home improvement stuff - floors, walls, insultation, swimming pools etc, with a few stalls selling toasty machines and there was a gin bar serving a couple of free cocktails, that was fun!

I thought it was fun and interesting, even though I had no house to improve at that time! I would say its definitely worth it for a free day out, if you can get free tickets.
