Build It Live Bicester takes place every June, at Bicester Heritage in Oxfordshire. A one-stop shop for all things self build, renovation and home improvement, the show is designed to provide anyone with a property project with the inspiration, advice and information they need to make it a success.
Brought to you by the experts at Build It magazine, this annual show is designed to help you find everyday solutions to perfectly plan, design, manage and execute your home building or renovation project. Read on to find out what you can see and do at the show, and how to plan your visit!
Have you ever wanted to ask a self-build expert a question? Well, our veteran experts will be on hand all weekend at Build It Live Bicester, answering your questions during free, one-to-one appointment sessions. Whether you want advice about your planning application, want to quiz an architect about design options or speak to an eco guru, we have an expert to help you.
Whether you're looking for a heat pump, want to find an architect, source roof tiles or find the perfect kitchen, we have an exhibitor for you. Throughout the exhibition hall, you'll be able to meet with hundreds of local and national suppliers, browse their products and services and quiz them about their offerings, before making any decisions. You'll be able to see, touch and test thousands of traditional and innovative products, too!
Our series of free seminars are developed each year by Build It’s editorial team, and our panel of experts, to ensure all common questions are covered – and to give visitors the knowledge to take control of their projects. Our workshops are hosted by our exhibitors and cover everything from glazing options to funding your self build. Plus, at the end of each session you'll get the chance to ask a question during the live Q&A!
As well as the opportunity to try out products and materials in person, Build It Live will bring you free clinics, each designed to help you make a success of your project. Each one is led by an expert in their field, so you can quiz them and find the answers to your burning questions. Drop by any time to have a chat! Bicester clinics cover Build Costs, Extensions, Basements and Heating Advice.
