Leading Home and Gardens Show returns to Castlebar

THE Castlebar Home Improvement Show returns to the Breaffy Events Arena next weekend and will feature creative stands from many of Ireland’s most talented design professionals, furniture providers, and home improvement suppliers.

National and international exhibitors will showcase at the event on Saturday and Sunday, October 14 and 15, which also features expert advice from specialists, and all of the latest design and product innovation.

A new ‘Meet the Architect’ feature, led by Limerick-based Turnkey Architects, will see free advice given on projects from new builds, to major renovation or extensions.

Making the most of available space, effective layouts, and the best materials for specific design and builds will all be addressed.

People can bring along their plans and ask the architects questions on anything from planning permission to build techniques, according to organisers.

“All of our experts, builders, architects or interior designers, help provide inspiration and practical assistance. And, having the top materials suppliers on hand means people can get great ideas and instant quotes for any work they have in mind”, organisers say.

Food demonstrations and tastings will also be going on all weekend, and beautiful household and interior design retailers will show off the latest looks for Ireland’s most stylish homes, all under one roof.

Running since 2012, the Castlebar Home Improvement Show has become the West’s definitive showcase of contemporary interiors and gardens.

One new and interesting exhibitor this year, Home Street Home from Dublin, produces amazing upcycled funky furniture and chic lighting and décor. Beautiful handcrafted furniture, light fittings and accessories are produced from cast-offs and given a dramatic new lease of life!

Award-winning garden and landscape design companies will host talks and practical clinics for the weekend too, illustrating how to create beautiful garden spaces, from the smallest city terrace to large properties.

Around 7,000 individuals are expected to attend the two-day show.
