Visitor numbers at the contemporary home show were up 15% compared to last year’s opening weekend, in an "incredibly satisfying" turnout according to organiser Media 10.
Grand Designs Live is in its eighth year at Excel. It runs from 5 - 13 May and was opened by show ambassador Kevin McCloud, who presents the Channel 4 show Grand Designs.
Rob Nathan, group marketing director at Media 10, said: "The first three days of this year’s event have exceeded everyone’s expectations. Considering the economic situation it is incredibly satisfying to have record visitor numbers, proving that by investing in quality and content live events can continue to prosper even in challenging times."
