The Historic Buildings Parks & Gardens Event 2008
The Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre
Broad Sanctuary, Westminster London SW1P 3EE
Tuesday 11 November 9.00am – 5.00pm

This one-day Historic Buildings, Parks and Gardens Event, which has been running for over 25 years is held in parallel with the Historic Houses Association’s Annual General Meeting. Visitors to the Event consist of owners and guardians of historic buildings (private, commercial and industrial), parks and gardens – their management staff, their professional advisers and a range of professionals who either purchase or influence the purchase of the great variety of products and services needed and used by this important and developing market sector. (There were over 1,100 visitors at the 2007 Event.) This creates a unique and unrivalled opportunity for companies offering products and services involved in the care, repair and conservation of historic buildings, parks and gardens to meet with both potential and existing clients who are responsible for Grade I listed buildings, cathedrals, churches, manor houses, windmills, historic town centres, or Britain’s industrial built heritage.
