Record breaking Sunday for SA’s largest home show

The ECR House & Garden Show hit record breaking numbers on Sunday, July 3.

The exhibition,  in it’s 36th year, welcomed thousands of visitors to the Durban Exhibition Centre to experience more than 30,000sqm of show space.

Visitors were treated to an appearance by rugby legend Butch James on the Springbok Opus stand; a surprise visit by Dora the Explorer ahead of her show debut at the neighbouring ICC, and fun was had by the visiting ECR jocks who are broadcasting live from the venue for the entire 10 show days.

The Kickstands band will entertain visitors on Saturday.

This year there is an entire new section dedicated to travel and adventure, an outdoor shisa nyama by Max’s Lifestyle proudly sponsored by Durban Tourism and a competition to win a R5m home investment at Blythdale Coastal Resort.
The event will also feature celebrity chefs and DIY appearances.

The Kidz Zone is a children’s activity centre specially designed to entertain children at the show with games, craft activities and entertainment.  It has been managed by Wart & Fish, a children’s event company, since 2007.

The Kidz Zone is proudly sponsored by Melissa & Doug and there will be great entertainment for the children, Melissa & Doug crafts to make, games to play and prizes to be won.
