Super new features designed to inspire and direct buying

Spring Fair International will be jam-packed with super new product features and innovations that will inform and entertain, all designed to bring buyers and sellers together.

Cook Live!

Cook Live! had its debut at Autumn Fair and at Spring Fair will be found in Kitchen & Dining (in hall 2).

Endorsed by BHETA and BHF, a large, working kitchen will showcase the new products and equipment sold by exhibitors, with live demonstrations of their uses and benefits throughout the show. An overhead mirror and audiovisual equipment will be installed so the demonstrations can be viewed from the back and sides of the demonstration area when all the seats are full.

The series of demonstrations will run throughout the open days of the show and are free of charge to attend with seating available on a first come, first served basis.

Meet Raymond Blanc the owner of Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons and star of BBC's 'The Restuarant'.

See James Martin, the star of BBC1's Saturday Kitchen and watch him cook up a treat using Denby's products.

A display area will showcase all the products to be seen in Cook Live!, along with a timetable of demonstrations and Kitchen & Dining exhibitors are already signing up.

Spring Fair exhibitors who are interested in having their products featured at Cook Live! should contact Roz McGuinness on 020 7728 4260; email roz.mcguinness@emap.com

Spring Fair gets Fresh

There will be no fresher feature than Fresh! in 2010. This is the new group stand in hall 3 (Greetings & Stationery), which will be home to exciting design-led greeting card, gift and jewellery suppliers.

It is the brainchild of Jeremy Corner, managing director of Blue Eyed Sun, and David Wigley, a director of Pango Productions, who intend to create a ‘buzzy’, easy to find area that will attract high quality buyers from the UK and overseas.

For further information about Fresh! contact Dave, Jeremy or Cindy at 0845 2690469 or visit www.freshexhibitions.com; you can also email hello@freshexhibitions.com.

Spotlight on contemporary gifts

New to Spring Fair 2010, Spotlight on contemporary gifts will be highlighting exciting and directional products from both large and small British and international brands.

This is a great opportunity for new and established companies to present sought after new products to a vast array of retailers within the largest showcase of contemporary gifts and home brands in the UK.
