Hall of Names @ Spring Fair International, NEC
30 Jan 2012

With only a week to go until Spring Fair, the Hall of Names office is a hive of activity getting everything ready for the show. Mailshots, e-shots, and invitations have all been sent out, appointments made, meetings arranged - it’s just the calm before the storm!

This will be our second time exhibiting at the Spring Fair, and in all our history of exhibiting at shows and events, this is an exhibition on a massive scale that is truly jaw dropping. Over 73,000 buyers attend from over 126 countries, with a purchasing power between them of £16.8bn.

With over 3,000 exhibitors, all halls of the NEC are used with each one being dedicated to particular goods – among our favourites is the Art & Framing hall, the Body, Bath and Fragrance hall (gorgeous), the Christmas Decorations hall with stunning displays, The Jewellery Show, complete with burly bodyguards and two catwalks, and one of kids toys which is rather noisy but great!

Hall of Names will be in the Heritage & Souvenirs sector of Hall 5 Stand A101 - we'll be showcasing our products and establishing new and exciting partnerships with all sorts of ventures - if you are attending then do feel free to pop in and pick up a brochure or have a chat with the team.

LONGLEAT LAUNCHES!
06 May 2010

Hall of Names Europe is delighted to announce that its range of historic and heraldic gifts will be available to purchase at Longleat House in Wiltshire from the middle of March.

Longleat House is widely regarded as one of the best examples of high Elizabethan architecture in Britain and one of the most beautiful stately homes open to the public. Substantially completed by 1580 and now home to the 7th Marquess of Bath, Longleat House is set within 900 acres (400 hectares) of magnificent ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped parkland with a further 8000 acres (3,200 hectares) of woodland, lakes and farmland. In the late 13th Century a priory belonging to the Black Canons of the Order of St Augustine occupied the site where Longleat House now stands. It has a number of added attractions such as a Safari Park, Railway and Maze and was visited by Queen Elizabeth I in 1574 – the first in a long line of royal guests

Hall of Names provides Coats of Arms and Surname Histories as part of its exclusive and personalised product range designed to last a lifetime and will be sold in the recently opened Gifts and Treasures Shop in the grounds of the Longleat Estate.
