The exhibition event, celebrating its 10th anniversary, offers visitors a chance to view the latest trends and unseen products in self-build, from kitchens to gardens and everything in-between.
The show will be returning to the NEC in Birmingham, with over 500 exhibitors across six different sectors including: Grand Build, Grand Kitchens, Grand Bathrooms, Grand Technology, Grand Gardens and Grand Interiors. With each section boasting a specialised feature, this year's Grand Designs Live is set to better than ever.
