Listed Building exhibition next month

Listed Property Owners Club est. 1993

Now in its third year the Listed Property Show comes to Olympia next month offering a huge range of advice, expertise and inspiration to owners of the nearly 373,000 listed buildings across England.

Organised by the Listed Property Owners Club (LPOC), the exhibition features almost one hundred and fifty specialist suppliers showcasing their products and services, all suitable for listed buildings. With 15% of listed properties being built before 1600, finding the correct materials and tradesmen for even some basic repair jobs required for a listed building can be an onerous task, so visit the show and take advantage of having so many experts in one place.

Peter Anslow, Director of The Listed Property Owners Club says: “The Listed Property Show is a unique event that brings together many of the UK’s finest crafts people and period living experts. This year’s event will feature an array of demonstrations and seminars with a number of Conservations Officers on hand to provide restoration advice for visitors."

The listed property show runs from the 21-22 February 2009, admission is free. For more information visit www.listedpropertyshow.co.uk
