Favourite Christmas Song: When I hear “The Pogues, Fairy Tale of New York” I know Christmas is just right around the corner!
Perfect Winter’s Day: Probably when it is a crisp cold day with the sun shining. Being able to wrap up but still feel the warmth of the sun shining on your face is always a winner for me.
Favourite Christmas Food: As I am French, I would have to say the fois gras and cheese of course.
Favourite Aspect of the Show: Watching the show come alive and seeing all the exhibitors happy with their spaces.

Favourite Christmas Song: “This Christmas” by Donny Hathaway – It reminds me of how exciting waking up on Christmas morning was as a child!
Perfect Winter’s Day: Nothing beats a country walk on a cold winter’s day with my family, followed by a glass of mulled wine at a cosy country pub. I also love wondering around the Christmas markets with friends and seeing how festive everyone is.
Favourite Christmas Food: It wouldn’t be Christmas without the stuffing… and of course the after-dinner cheese board!!
Favourite Aspect of the Show: Meeting all of our lovely exhibitors and seeing how proud everyone is to work in the events industry.
