Traditionally our first show of the year it feels strange to be heading to Harrogate this late in the calendar, but we will still pack our woollies just in case! The show opens on Thursday 20th for four days and we look forward to seeing you there. Obviously any website orders will not get processed while we are at the showground (or while we are setting up); any orders placed after Saturday 15th May will be despatched Tuesday 25th at the earliest.

It’s looking like this year will be a good strong step on the road back to normal.

We are so looking forward to attending our first show of 2021 – Spring Live! at the South of England Showground, Ardingly on this coming weekend Saturday 24th April – Sunday 25th April. Of course, it will feel different to previous years. There will be limits on the amount of people allowed to attend. We will have to wear face masks, use hand sanitiser, keep our distance from each other, touch things as little as possible. This obviously poses challenges – traditionally we have laid tools out for you to try to help you make your decision about what is right for you. Those demo tools will still be available; they will be kept on the stand and brought out and sanitised when requested. We want your experience to be as close to the good old days as possible and as safe as possible.

The organisers have worked really hard to ensure that this show can go ahead; as frustrating as some of the restrictions will be please remember that they are there for the safety of us all, and that by following the rules we can get our lives back to the way they were.

Several items are showing as out of stock on the website – this is because the stock will be at the show. Don’t panic! More stock will be arriving over the next month, with some new Darlac products making an appearance too.

After Spring Live! we will be getting ready for Harrogate Spring Flower Show at the Yorkshire Showground from Thursday 20th to Sunday 23rd May. Looking forward to seeing you all at the showgrounds!
