We are moving up in the world….
I have had an idea for a while now, well since I started thinking about events around 2 years ago. The growth of smaller regional baby fairs seems to be following the rapid expansion of wedding fairs across the country so the time is right for something a little different.
As a mum with two gorgeous, exasperating, wonderful, demanding girls I know how much of a change the step from a couple to a family can be. With the trend for new couples to move away from their extended families, the support network of years ago is no longer there at such an amazing and scary time. This is what happened to us, and while I only live an hour away my parents were not handy for advice and support so I had to wing it. Fortunately my girls have turned out well, but wouldn’t it be lovely to have somewhere to go to speak to parenting advisors, to see the latest gadgets to help you through this wonderful time?
This is how the idea started but since that first seed planted itself in my brain it has developed and grown into a fun filled family day out with lots of activities. With a fashion show, outdoor fun fair and lots of shopping to do the Yorkshire Family Show is turning into the must see family event of 2011.
So, here we go with just over a year till our provisionally booked August date and the search for exhibitors has started. There are lots of opportunities for relevant businesses to get involved and I am hoping that my excitement will prove to be infectious!
