Reed Exhibitions, which runs the event at Earls Court 2, has announced that because Easter Sunday falls on March 27 the fair has been put back to February 22-24. The Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition has also been put back two weeks because of the early Easter.
Exhibition director Darren Whitehead said that moving the date was the preferred option to switching venues.
He added that the change in timing will give exhibitors the chance to put their products in front of buyers before the end of the financial year but that the 2006 event is expected to revert to its traditional March schedule when Easter returns to the middle of April.
