If you’re dreaming of creating your perfect home – whether that’s renovating a period property, extending your existing space or embarking on an exciting self-build – the National Self Build & Renovation Show is an event not to miss.
Taking place on Friday 9th & Saturday 10th October at the National Self Build & Renovation Centre (NSBRC) in Swindon, the show brings together more than 200 exhibitors alongside leading experts in homebuilding and renovation. Best of all, advance tickets are free!
With homeowners increasingly focused on improving energy efficiency, creating flexible living spaces and making better connections between home and garden, the show couldn’t be more relevant. Visitors can explore the latest innovations in insulation, heat pumps, solar technology, glazing and sustainable building solutions, while gaining practical advice tailored to projects of every size.
The packed programme includes over 25 expert talks, live demonstrations, guided tours of the NSBRC’s unique life-size educational exhibits and free one-to-one consultations covering everything you’ll need for project success. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or already progressing with your build, dedicated sessions covering funding and finance, finding land, project management, the latest building regulations, planning, VAT reclaim and sourcing reliable trades will help answer many of the questions that arise during a self build or renovation project.
This event will also feature a special appearance on Friday 9th by TV property expert Georgina Burnett, better known to many as The Home Genie. A familiar face from ITV’s This Morning, Love Your Weekend and other popular programmes, Georgina combines decades of presenting experience with genuine hands-on renovation expertise. Her inspiring talk promises practical advice, creative ideas and honest insights for anyone looking to transform their home.
Visitors can also enjoy thought-provoking panel discussions exploring two of the industry’s biggest talking points ‘heat & energy’ – and ‘overheating homes’ – offering practical insights from leading experts. Here, you’ll learn about ventilation, heat recovery, battery storage and rainwater harvesting – and more! Plus, if you’re keen to delve deeper into key topics, course taster sessions including The NSBRC Guide to Renovation Projects and The NSBRC Guide to Planning Permission provide a valuable introduction to the Centre’s popular educational courses.
For those wanting hands-on inspiration, expert-led guided tours will take visitors through the NSBRC’s impressive educational areas, including the Renovation House, New Build Zone, Passivhaus Exhibits and Retrofit Zone, showcasing real-life construction methods, renewable technologies and best practice for modern homes.
Whether you’re at the early planning stage or already halfway through a project, the show offers an invaluable opportunity to compare products, speak directly with specialists and gain the confidence to make informed decisions. Visitors can also book free one-to-one appointments with a wide range of experts, including Architects, Designers, Planners, Financial Advisers, Landscaping Professionals and Home Interiors Specialists, ensuring tailored advice for every stage of a project.
