Our second visit of the year to the wonderful Elsecar show!

100 stands!Our Elsecar show runs in March and August each year and now attracts visitors in the thousands each time. It is busy, vibrant and colourful and offers a well balanced mix of therapies, retail stands and readers offering all manner of divinations.

Historically, Mind, Body & Spirit events do not always work well on Bank Holiday weekends - so many other family things are on offer too, but at Elsecar, this has never made a difference. We think it is because Elsecar is an attraction in its own right - with its craft workshops, children's play attraction, coffee shop etc.

Whatever the reason, visitors just love this August show and the whole thing explodes into action from the minute we open the doors.

The show has all the usual BSSK attractions - Zone of Tranquillity, a relaxing space to sit and reflect, the free Children's Angel Feather Hunt with a prize for every child, and the free prize draw for every paying adult. This is drawn at 4pm on the Sunday of the show - don't worry if you are not on site, we ring and notify the winner and winners are listed on the website after the show.

Talks and workshops are again in the marquee adjacent to the building offering what we hope is a quieter, more restful ambience. This has been welcomed by exhibitors and visitors alike, so being carpeted and with elegant chandelier lighting!

Catering is provided by outside caterers, and there is the coffee shop within the Elsecar complex too. We arrange overflow parking in addition to the usual extensive parking, so it is possible to come and have a full day of pampering and discovery.

Don't miss this year's summer show!
