Southern Tool Show this Weekend at Alexandra Palace London

Posted on January 27, 2015 by DIY Doctor

This weekend we are joined by our tool partners and sponsors at our first Southern Tool Show.

From the 30 January to 1 February we will be at Alexandra Palace, fondly known as Ally Pally, in North London bringing you our tools show and demonstration stage.

We even demonstrate at many of the shows, as regular readers will know. This weekend we are jointing forces with he organisers of the Southern Home Show to bring you the Southern Tool Show.
