A few words from our exhibitors

‘A fantastically well organised event that The Open University will definitely attend again.’
 
Helen Tong
Regional Marketing Manager
The Open University in the North

'For the second year Waitrose/John Lewis eagerly awaited the Living North Christmas Fair at Gosforth Park Racecourse. The event was a huge success, thanks to the efforts of Julian West and his remarkable staff, a sincere thank you to them all. This type of function is most important in bringing the whole of the region together to showcase local producers, and their quality products, from which many will benefit.  We look forward to 2010, where  hopefully we can support Living North once again, and participate in this prestigious event.'

Viv Sewell
Waitrose


'This is the 3rd year that Pins and Ribbons has exhibited at the Living North Christmas Fair and each year it gets better. A well organised event that is well publicised and attended by many. Sales were exceptional this year and we have already re-booked for next year’s event. Well done to all the hard work from the Living North team!'

Kerrie Murray
Pins and Ribbons

'We have been inundated with enquiries and orders as a direct result of exhibiting just some of our ever-popular pollution-free 'Family Fitness and Fun' products at your fairs, and we will definitely be requiring more space to exhibit again with Living North next year!'

David Robinson
U.K. General Manager
In-Store Group & World Of Rides

'I feel the Living North Christmas fairs in 2009 offer a fantastic opportunity for both the public and the producer to engage with one another each enjoying the friendly atmosphere and huge diversity which is on offer.
An outstanding Christmas event well done!'

Matt Boyle
Wylam Brewery

'We were a first time exhibitor at Gosforth Park and we were delighted with the response we had.  The show was extremely well organised and very professional and we will certainly go back in 2010.'

Keith Crowther, La Cookshop

'Living North always manage to get people through the door at their events, which is fabulous in this current climate, then it’s just up to us to do our best to sell our wares!  Feedback is always taken on board and each year improvements are made.  We love your events, we do very few events per year, but would not miss your well organised events with the wonderful people that attend - from the west coast of Scotland to Cornwall in our experience - keep up the good work and see you next year.'  

Lesley Wood
Rack and Ruin

'We have attended all the Fairs organised by Living North and can thoroughly recommend them.  The quality of the goods and produce on sale is second to none and the organisation and atmosphere guarantees a great day out.
It's so good, we do our Christmas shopping there!'

Frere Quenelle Liqueurs

'Excellent. Seriously impressed with their appreciation and help. In seven years of shows no one ever gave me a gift of thanks before!'
Show n Tell

"I exhibited at five Christmas events in 2009 and Living North in Gosforth was easily the busiest, friendliest, most helpful and best. I have recommended it to very many fellow exhibitors as the best place in the North of England, not only to exhibit, but also to shop for Christmas.  I'll be back next year for certain."

Jackie Selcraig, Grace J 

'We are happy to once again be exhibiting at the Living North Fair. Not only is the event well run and enjoyable, it offers a delightful opportunity for our regular customers to see our latest collections. The event always gives us instant access to new customers who are looking for something a little special.'
