If you’re looking for a great day out this weekend, why not make your way to Bicester Garden Centre and check out Plumbs’ stand. Our stand, which displays a range of Reupholstery and Loose Covers, will be at Bicester until 10th December. Plus, with Bicester Garden Centre boasting a spectacular Christmas display and a vast range of gardening stocks, you’re in for a real treat. Watch the video below to find out more about Plumbs at Bicester Garden Centre.
Located just off the A41 near Bicester Village, Bicester Garden Centre is easy to get to. Please do come and see us, located just behind the tills, and enjoy a great day out all under one roof!
The exhibition program for the year kicked off in March at the Country Living Spring Fair in London and the Retirement show in Manchester.
What is so striking about the exhibitions is that everyone who comes onto the stand is amazed – Plumbs in real life aren’t what they think.
The event was packed and we were busy on the Plumbs stand at Country Living Spring Fair. Lots of people were attracted by the live reupholstery demonstration taking place.
Around 600 people visited the stand and took samples and brochure. A further 84 requested a home consultant visit.
Lots of positive feedback from customers who came onto the stand to tell us how delighted they were with their recent Plumbs purchase.

Last Friday Plumbs managed to raise a fantastic £421.86 for Children In Need. This year’s theme was ‘Show Your Spots’ and everyone showed their support by wearing spots to work on Friday. We even managed to find a spotty sofa in the factory providing the perfect photo opportunity!
Particular congratulations must also go to all of the canteen staff who raised £184.46 through the sale of cakes, Pudsey and Blush ‘ears’ (as featured in the picture) and spotty wristbands too. What a lot of cakes they must have baked!
In conjuction with the BBC Gardeners’ World Live 2010 on 16th – 20th June, we are giving a lucky winner the opportunity the chance to have a one-seater chair REUPHOLSTERED LIVE AT THE SHOW.
This fantastic prize is worth up to £1,000. Your chair would be collected from your home, reupholstered live at the BBC Gardeners’ World show, in your choice of fabric (from a selection of our top 30 fabrics) and then re-delivered back to your home.
To be in with a chance of winning this amazing prize and seeing your chair transformed live at the show, upload a picture of the one seater chair you would like re-upholstered on the BBC Gardeners’ World show:
If I heard it once I heard it 1000 times at the recent Country Living Spring Fair.
“Wow, Plumbs is nothing like the adverts”
After a very busy show, over 500 brochures given out and over 100 visitors to the stand asking to have a visit from a Plumbs Home Consultant, we can say we had a busy and successful show.
Leading the display was a fabulous art deco design revived recently by Sanderson. This featured on a well matched art deco chair as a beautiful piece of reupholstery. The vast majority of show visitors who passed the stand made a comment about the chair. Many people wanted to buy it there and then.
They were surprised to learn that Mick had actually reupholstered the chair right there on the first day of the show.
The other star of the show was Willow Stripe, the sumptuous cut velvet stripe from Swaffer. Mick spent hours reupholstering an old queen Anne chair in this fabric, being stopped every few minutes to answer questions from visitors.
So excited were people about this fabric they started taking off cuts from Mick’s reupholstery work. One large piece of fabric mysteriously went missing!
All in all a great visit to the Country Living Spring Fair and a lovely atmosphere in the business design centre in Islington.
