My pal over at and our other bestie spent the day at yesterday. Did any other bakers go? I’d love to hear your thoughts because wow, we were SO disappointed. It was a lot smaller this year and definitely not worth the trek up to London had it not been co-located with the (which is mostly full of tat stands selling fake Stanley cups and uggs these days which is really sad to see but that’s another story and one for me to follow up with !)
There were barely any baking equipment stands which makes me think that previous exhibitors just didn’t find any value in taking a stand again this year. It’s so sad to see what used to be a huge, thriving show potentially beginning a slow demise.
We did meet a lovely small business who exhibited in the Ideal Home Show so all was not lost. But I don’t think I’ll be attending again. I used to organise exhibitions in my previous career and sadly this one fell way below the mark. I’d love to hear others opinions who visited?
