This competition has now closed

The Ideal Home Show is back at London’s Olympia from March 17 to April 2, and – as usual – it’s packed with ideas, great buys and talks from the biggest names in homes and interiors.  

We never miss it, and we don’t think you should either, which is why Saga Exceptional is giving away 2,500 pairs of tickets, so you and a friend can go for free.

Get inspiration from the famous Ideal Home Show Homes

Taking centre stage is this year’s Ideal Home Show Village, where you can walk through two life-size homes and enjoy daily talks.  

The Money-Making Home is a new concept, designed with the cost of living crisis at its heart. It demonstrates how you can save money and generate revenue from your home through technology, growing your own produce, upcycling and more.  

Then there’s the Great Escape Home, designed and built by Mockba Modular, for under £100,000. Created as a romantic retreat with peace and tranquillity in mind, this steel-framed ‘container home’ demonstrates that your dream second home could be more affordable than you might think. 

If you’re thinking about a second home, but want to do it in the cheap, this would be a great choice to check out.

And remember to free up some space on your phone for celeb snapping, as you’ll see and hear from plenty of famous names from the world of homes, interiors, gardens and cooking. Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Lynsey Clean of Queen, Phil Spencer, Lisa Faulkner and John Torode are just some of the stars appearing over the course of the event to give insights into ways to improve your home.

Our mission at Saga Exceptional is to help you live life that little bit better. So a few speaker highlights we’ll be taking in include Lynsey’s “Blitz It” approach to spring cleaning, Martin Lewis’ “Cut Your Bills, Fight Your Corner” sessions, TV gardener David Domoney’s tips to “Become a Houseplant Expert in 30 Minutes” and Danni Menzies “Find Your Place in the Sun” talks.

Amy Cutmore is Editor in Chief for Homes at Saga Exceptional. She’s been writing about interiors for more than 20 years, harking back to the days when glossy red kitchens, toile de Jouy and rag rugs were all the rage, and everyone wanted a Changing Rooms makeover.

You’ll have seen Amy’s work at Britain’s biggest homes titles, including Ideal Home, where she served as Consumer, Technology and Group Digital Editor. She has also edited or written for Homes & Gardens, Livingetc, 25 Beautiful Homes, Real Homes, Gardeningetc, Inside Readers’ Homes, Inspirations for Your Home, Country House & Home, Top Ten Reviews, Trusted Reviews and Country Life. And she’s a winner of the PPA’s Digital Content Leader of the Year.

Amy’s homes knowledge knows no bounds – but her Mastermind-style specialist subjects include kitchen and bathroom design, and technology. For many years, she was Ideal Home’s Girl About Tech, where she spent her days pitting KitchenAid mixers against Kenwoods, attending washing machine launches (in 10 different countries, no less) and ensuring everyone who would listen knew their RPM from their RAM.

Amy rents out three properties, so is always on hand with advice for tenants and landlords alike, and is renovating her own home – a late-Victorian semi in desperate need of a kitchen extension and upstairs bathroom. When it comes to her interior design approach, she is a big fan of teal, can’t resist a statement wallpaper and loves vintage wooden furniture, whether it’s in the form of an old sleigh or a tatty trunk.
