What is the Homebuilding & Renovating Summer Show?
The Virtual Homebuilding & Renovating Summer Show is a free online experience akin to the Homebuilding & Renovating Show, which will next be on the road in 2021.
The next Homebuilding & Renovating Shows at the NEC, Glasgow and Surrey are planned for 2021 – find out the new dates here.
The virtual show is designed for anyone hoping to embark on or in the midst of a building project. So whether you intend to extend your home, take on a renovation, or build your home from scratch, you'll find everything you need to progress with your project.
You’ll be able to connect to exhibitors and experts over two days, gaining insight from seminars and masterclasses. The only difference is that this is a 3D virtual event.
There'll also be 130 exhibitors – offering products ranging from heating solutions to advice on self build mortgages – meaning you can make significant progress on your project over the course of two days.
What’s on at the Homebuilding & Renovating Summer Show?
Self build and renovation experts will be presenting seminars and masterclasses to provide homebuilding tips and advice — topics include how to find a plot, creating a low energy home, and designing a kitchen.
The expert seminars and masterclasses, and exhibitor displays will be divided across four stages. This is what you’ll see virtually at the show:
- The Exhibit Hall - where attendees can virtually visit 130 exhibitors to discuss their self build and renovation projects, and see live demos in the virtual halls
