What is the Ideal Home Show? The Ideal Home Exhibition (as it was originally known) first took place in 1908 and was the brainchild of one of the UKs leading daily newspapers, the Daily Mail. Devised with the idea of increasing marketing for the newspaper, it probably wasnt expected that over 100 years later it would still be a popular event! The aim of the Ideal Home Show was to show the public all of the elements of an ideal home, so basically it featured all the latest great inventions that families would want to have in their home to make it as modern as possible. Of course back then the inventions were totally different to todays high-tech world, but the theme is still the same for the Ideal Home Show. Whether or not youre interested in finding out about the latest new sustainable building initiatives or you just want to wander around a full scale model of a funky home, you can experience it at the Ideal Home Show. The Show also gives visitors the opportunity to buy anything and everything related to the home from the hundreds of different retailers who set up stalls here. Every year the exact line up for the Ideal Home Show varies somewhat, and this is what keeps some visitors coming back year after year! The exact details of the 2010 Ideal Home Show are yet to be announced, but you can register for updates from the official Ideal Home Show website and make sure youre among the first to hear! Visiting the Ideal Home Show The great thing about the Ideal Home Show is that it takes place over the course of several weeks so you have plenty of days to choose from for your visit!
