Santa has his grotto – and now you can have the best home ever thanks to the Ideal Home Show at Christmas. The inspirational four-day festival features star chefs Gino D’Acampo, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Candice Brown and Gregg Wallace alongside Saturday Kitchen wine expert Olly Smith and Real Housewives personality Dawn Ward. Even Calum Best will be popping in to sign his new memoir about his famous footballer father. See inspirational interiors, the coolest Christmas decorations, kitchenware for that perfect roast, and plenty of New Year DIY tips. Beyond the indoor snowy forest, discover the live bandstand and the brand new Alpine Ski Bar. The Christmas Arcade is full of games and gadgets, or you can pamper the four-legged members of your family with treats from the Pet Pavilion – you even get to hug a pug. Full live demo and guest appearance details can be found on the website. Tickets to the Christmas Ideal Home Show include free entry to the Cake & Bake Show and the UK’s newest food fair, the Eat & Drink Festival. Expect spices and garnishes galore in The Larder, a Foodie Stage including an unmissable Christmas turkey masterclass, and ample artisan and street food flavours from burgers to bavarois – and perhaps the occasional mince pie. There are 250 free tickets to be given away for the Eat & Drink Fest which you can redeem at www.eatanddrinkfestival.com with the code COMP30.
