Ideal Home Show Tickets

Ideal Home Show is an annual event, taking place every year in the capital of the United Kingdom, London. Since 1978 the venue has been the impressive Earls Court Exhibition Centre which is in West London and easily accessible by public transport. Usually the Ideal Home Show will take place around March and April time and runs for several weeks so there’s plenty of opportunity to get along and experience the ‘show’.

If you’re planning to visit the Ideal Home Show why not combine it with some sightseeing in London? The capital of England and the United Kingdom, London is a multi-cultural city with countless tourist attractions, culture, fine dining and thousands of different places to stay. If you’re looking for some of the most luxurious hotels and most expensive in the world you’ll find them in London, or at the other end of the scale London is also full of affordable accommodation too. If you don’t want to stay in London itself choose a town outside of the city that’s well linked by rail such as Surbiton, Woking, or Reading. Accommodation may be a little cheaper in these places, but with great rail links you’ll still be in the capital within half an hour.

In 2010 the Ideal Home Show will take place from Saturday 20 March to Monday 5 April at Earls Court,London,United Kingdom.

Ideal Home Show History

The inaugural Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition was opened by The Lord Mayor of London at Olympia and the Daily Mail explained that you would see: “Streets of a town lined with hundreds of bright little buildings of varying shape and design – red roofed cottages, brown bungalows, and gaily coloured pavilions – and moving between them endless lines of interested visitors.”

Visitors queued to view the furnished houses and to tour a landscaped garden. Stands became rooms with all the merchandise available for sale – offering the opportunity for people to see the latest designs for luxury living.

In 1908 90% of the population rented their home. It took over 3000 men a week to build the first Exhibition. Technological developments gathered pace throughout the 1920s and 1930s and new products were often featured in demonstrations at the Show. The event became a focal point for the housewife to view the latest in household technology.

Throughout the 1930s building was Britain’s chief industry, and the suburbs began to spread. Mortgages were becoming more accessible and more people than ever before bought their first home.

The Daily Mail was committed to the drive for greater efficiency and for one year in 1921 it even renamed the Show the Daily Mail Efficiency Exhibition. In 1937 the BBC broadcast television for the first time.

Ideal Home Show - Introduction

The Ideal Home Show (formerly called the Ideal Home Exhibition) is an annual event run by the Daily Mail in London. Its goal is to bring together everything associated with having an "ideal home", such as the latest inventions for the modern house. The first exhibition was held in 1908 at the Olympia exhibition centre, with sections dedicated to "phases of home life" such as construction, food and cookery, furniture and decoration. Demonstrations and contests included an Arts and Crafts competition and a competition to design the "Ideal Home". Wareham Smith, advertising manager of the Daily Mail, founded the exhibition as a marketing event for the newspaper. It was often visited by celebrities and royalty.
