Homes, Gardens and Lifestyle Show was once again a big success this year
It was awesome and moresome in Altea once again! The 10th edition of the Homes Gardens and LIFESTYLE Show was yet another sophisticated and successful event produced by GM Promotions on 5th & 6th April. The weather held up for us all as we popped the corks and enjoyed lots of cake with thousands of visitors that visited the annual two-day event at the stunning Villa Gadea Hotel. The compliments were flowing from the 87 exhibitors, 23 artists and record breaking number of well over 3,500 visitors as the Show provided current information, inspiration, fun, merriment and two entertaining days which was enjoyed by all.
Show Director Gina Marks said ‘Every year we strive to deliver an expo with high standards, compiling a variety of informative information to the local communities through this event, 2019 and the 10th edition proved that the Show really has made its mark in the local, international communities, with something for everyone to see, do, enjoy, learn, take away and reflect on!’
Now it is time to thank everyone involved, and there are many who did a fantastic job pulling together to produce an event of this scale and catering for everyone’s needs as it is not always as easy as it looks! Well done to all for your input, patience and support which gave thousands of people a great day out and a fabulous Homes Gardens and Lifestyle Show experience yet again!
Thank you to our exhibitors, the hotel staff and management, our main media sponsors, including The Costa Blanca News and The Post, and ‘Where The Heart Is’, Moraira for all of the magnificent cake and delicious savouries and celebration cake for our 10th edition, and to the Akinon Resort, La Nucia for providing the cava and star prize of a Spa Getaway.
