Success of the Historic Homes Show 2008!
The Historic Homes Show held in the Athenaeum on 14 June 2008, opened by Councillor John Griffiths, was a huge success for owners and traders alike. The venue proved admirably suitable for the event and hundreds of visitors came to the show and gained useful information from the traders, practical demonstrations and free talks which were on offer.
Following such positive freedback, the Borough Council is already preparing for the Historic Homes Show 2009, which will take place on Saturday 13 June 2009 in the Athenaeum. Watch this space for details of traders, talks and linked events!
If you would like further information, interested in having a trade stand or have any questions about the shows please email conservation@stedsbc.gov.uk or telephone the conservation officers Christine Leveson (01284 757356) or Claire Johnson (01284 757339).
