The etc Gardens, Homes & Lifestyle Show
The etc Gardens, Homes & Lifestyle Show returns for its third year & is set to be bigger & better than ever before
Held at the Brighton Centre on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 March, the etc Gardens, Homes & Lifestyle Show focuses on the finer things in life, with experts on hand to offer practical tips and give demonstrations.
Celebrity speakers include five AA Rosette and Michelin award-winning chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, the nation’s favourite builder Tommy Walsh, and TV star and celebrity DIY expert Craig Philips.

She adds: “We are really excited to showcase so many amazing products over the weekend, there is something for everyone in your family.” Chef Jean-Christophe Novelli will be at the exhibition on both Saturday and Sunday, sharing recipes, kitchen tips and taking questions from visitors.
The Saturday will also see Tommy Walsh making a welcome return to the show’s line-up while Craig Phillips will be taking to the stage on Sunday to help people “do it yourself”.
