Oliver Heath & Joe Swift join the line-up for the Etc Gardens, Homes & Lifestyle Show

This March Etc Magazine is taking over the Brighton Centre, bringing to life “everything that counts” in a Gardens, Home and Lifestyle Show packed with live demonstrations, innovative items and ideas.

Themed areas will showcase a broad selection of lifestyle products and options. Alongside inspiring interiors, technology, gardens and food, there will be a women’s section – new for this year. The headline sponsor for the show is Brewers, the UK’s largest independent supplier of decorating materials, who will be sharing its expertise in demonstrations across the weekend.

There will also be a chance to see and learn from the stars, including Sussex born interior designer Oliver Heath who will be at the show on both days. “I’m really looking forward to meeting some new local suppliers that I can work with,” says Oliver, “and also to meet the crowd and seeing what the visitors are interested in and want from their homes.”

Joe Swift, best known as presenter of BBC’s Gardeners’ World, will also be on hand on the Saturday to share his green fingered expertise. “I want people to leave the show seeing their garden, balcony, or back yard as somewhere exciting and valuable rather than just something they bought with the house,” Joe explains.

“I really like doing live shows and trying to inspire people to go out and have a go in their own gardens.”

While Sunday brings celebrity chef, and mother of two, Lesley Waters to the stage. Presenting cooking demonstrations which are sure to whet your appetite and inspire your cooking creativity.

This is the second Etc Gardens, Homes and Lifestyle Show and it has already grown to be one of
the largest events on the south coast with 200 stands in three rooms over two floors at The Brighton Centre.

This means there will be everything you can think of and more – from pet portraits to innovative items, brilliant bathrooms to stunning ceramics.

The Brighton Centre is located on the seafront, with reasonable car parking, public transport and just
30 minutes from Gatwick Airport meaning it is a breeze to access.
