Planning a renovation? The Homebuilding and Renovating show is an essential visit
The National Homebuilding and Renovating show is returning to the NEC Birmingham in March


The National Homebuilding and Renovating show is returning to the NEC Birmingham in March, a must-see whether you're planning a renovation or extension.
The show is hosted by our sister brand, Homebuilding and Renovating, and a melting pot of the best expert advice for renovators looking for kitchen extension ideas, or established house-flippers looking for the latest products.
Whether you are after practical tips or inspiring advice, the Homebuilding and Renovating show is offering Homes & Garden's readers two free tickets to The National Homebuilding and Renovating show which runs from 24 - 27 March.
What is the Homebuilding and Renovating Show?
The Homebuilding and Renovating Show runs in multiple locations across the UK during the year. The show is designed to save you hours of searching for renovating and building advice online – instead, everything you need is brought together under one roof.
The show is spread across seven areas to ensure that no matter what stage your project is at you have the tools and information to get the job done well.
The seminars and masterclasses offer a wealth of knowledge about topics from planning advice to decorating ideas from architects, planning consultants, builders and other homebuilding professionals.
For more tailored advice, The Advice Centre offers a free 15-minute session with an expert to help get your project started. You can ask an industry leader for help with a project, chat with an expert architect, or speaker to a builder for impartial building advice.
