The 10th and 11th of February will become a Newark Showground Well-Being Brand weekend to remember. Looking back over the previous four years, we can see the positive change resulting from 2020’s change of venue.
Looking Back:
While the Cedric Ford Pavilion is a superb venue, it is limited by its size, which limits the number of stalls. As we all recognise, the greater the spectrum of attending community members, the greater the attraction for potential and regular visitors. The choice to move the venue was not taken lightly. And many stalwart community members knew we were taking a chance. They realised a large venue would look empty with the previous number of attending exhibitors. We love large venues, especially ones with excellent facilities. Large and spacious talk rooms, good dining areas, and unlimited free parking are keys to success. So, we moved the Well-Being Show to Newark Showground’s Lady Eastwood Centre.
Today:
Here we are, four years and seven shows later. The Lady Eastwood move is paying dividends for all who could see the potential and accepted the transfer would take time to blossom. In the same way, any new venue takes time and dedication to become a recognised event. And this weekend’s (10th and 11th of February 2024) Newark Well Being Show has come of age.
From an average of 42 community exhibitors over the previous seven shows, the numbers for this weekend have rocketed to nearly 70! And the depth and breadth of differing stallholder’s products, services, and holistic and alternative treatments have never been more extensive. Visitors can enjoy a weekend of Well-Being and happiness without a second of boredom. Interestingly, most pre-booked tickets are two-day passes, signifying visitors know a weekend ahead jampacked with interest in well-being. We could not have accommodated seventy-plus exhibitors and their 115 tables in The Cedric Ford Pavilion!
The Reason For The Success:
However, we cannot attribute the gains now enjoyed by the move from a small to a larger venue. This is a choice made with a particular element of risk that could have been reversed. So, from the organiser’s standpoint, another factor had to be considered. It is, of course, the unwavering strength and dedication of the Community Members.
Most people who stand at a Well-Being Brand Show know they are a connected group. Many have formed close and meaningful relationships which go far beyond the events. And we know they speak highly about and actively support their Well-Being Brand Shows. We only have to look at the incredible growth and activity within the LizianEvents Group and LizianEvents Facebook pages to confirm the support for the Well-Being activities. Bookings for this year’s seven shows are stronger than in any previous years. And those joining the community-driven organisation are from every corner of the UK.
When we ask how and why a potential member wishes to join an event, the number one answer is, ‘I was recommended to talk to you by X’ This is evidence of why the shows have attained a unique and desirable place in the hearts of those who love wellbeing and aspects of spiritual discovery.
It is a beautiful community of people who make a Well-Being Show very special. There is no bickering, malicious whispers, gripes and moans. People arrive at an event, spend a few minutes with hello’s and ‘how have you been’ and set up their stands. And as for the stands, they are of the finest quality. Bright and informative, stocked with super quality goods or stacked with piles of information. Readers and spiritual counsellors take exceptional care with their presentations, and most have become renowned teachers and are qualified in various aspects of holistic work.
Just a Few of The Many!
There is a special acknowledgement to the many holistic and alternative healers who attend a Well-Being Show. Therapists know they have to gain exceptional and recognised qualifications in a cynical world, from herbalist to homoeopath to Reiki to spiritual healer. All have found a place to practice and promote the immense dedication to their work at a Well-Being Show. One should be certain visitors travel to community-driven events because of this fantastic dedication.
When visitors leave an event, closing a show is often challenging! The accolades flow. And there is a constant flow of thanks for the weekend’s event. For sure, the central feedback is for the community members. Time and again, visitors refer to the broad spectrum of attractions. Many refer to the new ideas listened to and the quality of this information. However, the references to the community stand ahead of every compliment. The Community IS a Well-Being Show.
A Well Being-Show is made from the magic of all who exhibit and their dedication to making the show a holistic event. Indeed, the show’s health reflects the endeavours and qualities of the people who have made the brand unique and exciting.
The first Well-Being Show of the year is over the weekend of the 10th and 11th of February. It is held at Newark Showground’s Lady Eastwood Centre—a Well-Being Brand weekend to remember.
See You There
