Tempting delights, fashion and a plethora of professionals to style and pamper will all be on show at the Women’s Lifestyle Expo in the first weekend in October.
If you’re looking for an excuse to gather up your girlfriends, sisters, mums and daughters, or maybe some quality time for yourself– then this is the show for you.
“The expo is the ultimate pop-up shop,” says Renee Murray of expo organisers, NZME Events.
“We will be bringing a fabulous experience to the women of Canterbury for one weekend with so many wonderful companies in one place. This is a great chance for women to discover new businesses and reconnect with ones they already know. Plus many of the companies involved can only be seen at this show – come talk to the experts, shop and meet the makers, discover new ideas and health advice, treat yourself and enjoy a day out with your friends or loved ones at the same time.”
This year the expo promises to be the biggest yet with more than 200 companies and more sites to shop from than ever before, so do not leave your Eftpos card at home! Here you will find an exciting fashion zone with top labels including Lorna Jane, Italian Fashion, Augustine, Baddass Apparel and Glowing Sky as well as accessories and more.
This year will also see the Reefton Distilling Gin & Spirit Lounge hosting at their cocktail bar and pop-up store with tipples such as Little Biddy Gin, Wild Rain Vodka and the delicious Reefton Distilling Co fruit liqueurs.
View the latest in new cars and check out some cool travel destinations. Throw into the mix arts and artisan crafts, giftware, gourmet food, wine and tea sampling as well as cosmetics, eco-friendly products and health and fitness professionals, and you have the perfect assortment of everything you could possibly need for a bit of retail therapy.
There will also be goodie bags crammed full of delightful treats for sale (while stocks last).
So grab the girlfriends, have a mother/daughter day out or simply take time for yourself.
