Grand Designs Live returns to Birmingham

Kevin McCloud will be hosting Grand Designs Live 2011 in Birmingham

Design guru and TV broadcaster Kevin McCloud returns to the NEC in Birmingham this October for the 6th year running as host of Grand Designs Live – the inspirational and innovative home improvement, self-build and design show.

The 2011 show running from the 7th – 9th October is set to be bigger and better than ever before, with over 500 exhibitors across 6 different sections, this year’s show caters for both home owners looking for new ideas to renovate their homes and aspiring self-builders looking for advice, inspiration and value to build their very own Grand Design.

Grand Designs Live

There will be a wealth of experts and FREE advice for visitors to take advantage of in the ‘Ask an Expert’ centre sponsored by VELUX, as well as a variety of Grand Debates that will provide all of the information you need to start planning and managing your own home improvement and self-build projects, as well as design ideas and case studies from real life TV Grand Designers on the Grand Seminar Theatre.

This year’s show will be spread over six different sections: Grand Build sponsored by VELUX, Grand Interiors sponsored by Dulux, Grand Kitchens sponsored by Miele, Grand Bathrooms and Grand Gardens. The highly anticipated House of the Future, sponsored by Virgin Media, also makes its return to the Grand Technology section. There will be a number of guest speakers who will appear at Grand Seminar Theatre to discuss the hottest industry topics and debates with visitors in the Grand Village which will also be packed full of live demos of sustainable build and green technology.

George Clarke

Amongst all of the amazing products and cutting-edge design ideas on show, visitors will get the chance to meet the show’s ambassadors Kevin McCloud, and TV architect George Clarke among many other guest speakers. Both Kevin and George will be at the event to host on-the-pulse design and style debates in the Grand Seminar Theatre, as well as to meet their fans.

The Birmingham show will also include the all-new VIP Experience brought to you by Miele which allows VIP ticket holders to take some time out from the crowds in a stylish VIP lounge and enjoy a luxury show experience with complimentary Miele coffee.

Grand Designs Live Birmingham takes place from 7 – 9 October 2011 at Birmingham’s NEC. Order your tickets online: www.granddesignslive.com or call the booking hotline on 0844 854 1348.
