The UK’s best show for anyone looking to create their dream home

History was made when the Harrogate Convention Centre (HCC) opened its doors for the Northern Homebuilding & Renovating Show, sponsored by Korniche, from 1-3 November 2024. The show, which featured the biggest ever line-up of property experts in the North of England, was celebrating its 30th birthday.

The exhibition attracted nearly 10,000 visitors, bringing an approximate economic impact of £450,000 to the spa town.

Since the first event took place in 1994, the Homebuilding & Renovating Show has attracted visitors with a combined project spend of £150 billion and has sold enough exhibition space to fill Wembley Stadium 200 times. Totalling all the show days from the past 30 years, the event has run for over 450 days.

87% of the Harrogate show visitors had a project on the go or will have in the next 12 months; on average they spent nearly four hours at the show and over half (54%) say that the Homebuilding & Renovating Show was the only show they visit.

Over 240 exhibitors gathered at HCC to present thousands of innovative products and services to enable visitors to see, touch and compare the latest advances to bring their projects together. Bespoke one-toone advice was on offer from the panel of show experts with 15 minute consultations available to book in the Advice Centre.

In addition, a series of seminars and masterclasses in the Seminar and Masterclass Theatres from a collection of leading property experts imparted knowledge and expertise by covering a range of topics including: a comprehensive guide to home solar installation; VAT for selfbuilders; mastering build costs; how heat pumps work, and much more.

To maximise the efficiency of the home, there was also a series of eco-energyfocused sessions from specialists, enabling visitors to achieve their home energy goals.

The show returns next year to Harrogate’s Convention Centre from 31 October-2 November 2025.
