Lifestyle Expo makes a welcome return

- Ilona Hanne

The New Plymouth Women’s Lifestyle Expo is returning for 2022, bringing together more than 120 of the best lifestyle companies under one roof later this month.

The expo will have something for everyone’s taste, says Renee Murray, NZME event director.

She says people will be able to find a wide range of things, including some perfect gifts for friends and family from the unique selection of artisan crafts and giftware available.

There are also plenty of beauty/ pampering items and eco-friendly essentials on show, with plenty of opportunit­ies to try samples, see demonstrat­ions and ask questions directly of the businesses themselves.

She says the best of local companies will be exhibiting at the expo, alongside a number of national companies who will travel to New Plymouth especially for the event.

“It’s the perfect opportunit­y for a girls’ day out, or to treat yourself to a day leisurely wandering between exhibitors.”

The expo is always popular, says Renee, and she is delighted it is returning to Taranaki.

“We are so pleased to be back in New Plymouth again, especially after having a two-year break due to Covid lockdowns. The show is always a popular event with women of all ages and stages, from teenagers and young women, to mothers and grandmothe­rs, and friends simply enjoying each other’s company.

“It’s a great chance for Taranaki locals to attend the show and support

local businesses after what have been some challengin­g times for many of our exhibitors.”

She says visitors should plan on spending a few hours at the expo, with the opportunit­y to try so many products out as well as enjoying

plenty of delicious treats and drinks in the expo’s taste zone.

Popular makeup brand Thin Lizzy has a makeup lounge running at the event, giving visitors the opportunit­y for some pampering.

Expo goodie bags are available for sale, and contain a great range of items and samples, says Renee.
