Tips to Make the Most of Your Visit

Organisers are encouraging attendees to come prepared to get the most out of the experience. Bringing along plans or sketches can help experts offer more tailored advice, while arriving early ensures you won’t miss the busy schedule of talks and demonstrations.

Most importantly - don’t hold back from asking questions. With so many experienced professionals in one place, it’s a rare opportunity to gain valuable, impartial guidance.

The show is produced by the NSBRC itself, the UK’s only permanent venue dedicated to independent homebuilding advice. Since opening in 2007, the centre has supported almost a quarter of a million visitors in creating, improving and transforming their homes.
