THERE’S no need to panic about what gifts to get your family and friends, the BIC’s Christmas Gift Show, the perfect family event, has got the festive season all wrapped up for you.
To be opened at 10am tomorrow by Chris Jarvis from Cbeebies, you can expect two days packed with gifts galore.The show takes place in the BIC’s Solent Hall and this year there will be even more gifts, live demonstrations, competitions and workshops for adults and children.
Nearly 100 exhibitors will be displaying gift ideas ranging from card making kits to oil paintings, exquisite jewellery to leather handbags, handmade soaps to candles, Christmas decorations to teddy bears and even festive treats like chutneys and cheese!
There's a free Demonstration Zone for adults including working with clay, painting with watercolour and acrylic paints and paper crafts. There will also be a chance to paint your own picture.
There’s plenty for children to do while you shop till you drop – a free Children’s Party Zone with Mr Merlin and Oakey Dokey the Dragon and a disco and party games, plus art and craft workshops.
Special guest Richard Adams, author of Watership Down , will also be on hand tomorrow to sign copies of his heroic fantasy tale.
