It’s Show Time for the DIY Doctor Team This Autumn

Posted on September 11, 2018 by DIY Doctor

It’s been a busy year so far here at the DIY Doctor headquarters in rural Somerset, with plenty of exciting things going on.

As we are now rapidly moving out of summer and into autumn, we thought it would be a good time to tell you all about the upcoming trade shows we are appearing at in the coming weeks.

As we progress in to the second half of yet another year and the nights start to creep in, now’s the time to start thinking about all of those jobs to do for next year.

Instead of waiting until spring, why not start planning now so that you’ll be fully ready to go as soon as the weather picks up and what better way to get some inspiration is there than visiting us at some shows geared fully towards this!

DIY Doctor at the Trade Shows

If you receive our monthly newsletters or are a seasoned DIY Doctor user then you should be well aware that we attend numerous trade shows throughout the year running the Tricks of the Trade theatre, the main ones being the Homebuilding and Renovating Shows held in locations across the county.
