Ideal Home Exhibition Birmingham

SandraF

I remember going to the circus in Bingley Hall as well as the Ideal Home exhibition. I can still see the lions in their cage with the lion tamer!

I was going to mention that! I think I worked next to where it used to be when I worked at the housing department when I left school. I loved the coloured fountain. As a child it was pure magic. Oh and Lewis’s roof .

Used to love attending the London Ideal Home Exhibition. Went every year for a very long time. Saw it slowly decrease in size, but still enjoyed a day out there. Did purchase gadgets, some I actually used.......others......no comment.
I would take a packed lunch, get there as it opened, and always had a wonderful day out.

I’d forgotten it was called Bingley Hall. I can visualise it now.

Been to two. Earl’s Court, one at the Trafford Centre.
Couldn’t get round & out fast enough too packed.
No back packs checked on the way in. I just didn’t feel safe.

I loved those dancing waters.
There were also so many demonstrations a bit like the shopping channels now. It was sad when Bingley Hall burnt down.
