Organised by East Sussex County Council’s Trading Standards Service and based on the ‘Ideal Home Show’, the hugely successful Local Life Show, now in its second year is being held on Saturday 4 October 2008 at the Winter Garden in Eastbourne.
The show will provide people with the perfect place to sample local produce, talk to honest and reliable traders, enjoy a touring theatre company, check out cookery demonstrations and meet representatives of the local authority and other caring services. Last year, the first ever Local Life Show attracted 2,500 visitors and organisers are keen to see even more people attend the event this year.
Exhibitors and stands are expected to feature home improvement and DIY, furniture, accessories, local food and drink, consumer organisations, demonstrations, motors, fair trade, gardens and advice.
Councillor Bob Tidy, Lead Member for Community Services at the County Council, said: “The event last year was a major success and demonstrated how the County Council not only helps consumers but also supports local business in East Sussex. Visitors to the second Local Life Show will again be able to meet honest and reliable traders, many of whom have been given an official ‘thumbs-up’ from Trading Standards through our highly successful approved trader scheme. The show will provide businesses with the ideal platform to promote their products and services and I would urge them to book early.”
