Harrogate International Centre to host The Listed Property Show
Harrogate International Centre (HIC) has partnered with The Listed Property Owners Club (LPOC) to host a new exhibition aimed at those who own or work on protected buildings.
The Listed Property Show will take place on 7th to 8th March 2015 as a sister show to the Olympia London event which is held every February.
A spokesman from LPOC commented: “We are delighted to bring the very popular Listed Property Show to Harrogate next March. The county of Yorkshire is home to more than 35,000 listed buildings.
“The show, which is supported by English Heritage and Harrogate Council’s conservation team, will provide information and advice about buying, maintaining and converting these historic buildings and will introduce owners to conservation specialists, architects and suppliers of materials suitable for use on these protected buildings.”
The show will include free one-to-one sessions with conservation officers, VAT and insurance experts, and practical demonstrations of woodcarving, lead work, plasterwork and window and door manufacturing. More than 100 exhibitors will be showcasing their products and services.
HIC director, Simon Kent, added: “This looks like being a really interesting show with a large pool of expertise based in Harrogate for two days.
“Yorkshire has a huge number of historic and listed buildings and this show will be an excellent opportunity for anyone who is unable to make it to the London event. It’s a great signing for us and one we hope will continue to come to HIC in the future.”
LPOC has 19,000 members and claims there are 450,000 listed properties in the UK.
