Find 22 rooms and outdoor spaces that inspire, intrigue and delight. Once you have left the showhouse, brimming with new ideas, you’ll be steps from 130+ showrooms to source an array of designs. A series of WOW!talks and guided tours will further enhance your WOW!house experience. Make time to catch up with friends, colleagues and clients for lunch or coffee in one of our convivial spaces.
Regrettably, WOW!house cannot admit children under 12 and non-assistance dogs as there are fragile and valuable objects on show.
