Last May I paid my first visit to the Allergy and Free from Show at London Olympia. It was a fantastic event which I thoroughly enjoyed and I am very much looking forward to going back this year. This years show will again be held at London Olympia, though slightly later than last year with the event running from Friday 7 – Sunday 9 June (2013).
The good news is that Gluten Free by the Sea has teamed up with the Allergy and Free From Show to bring readers of this blog unlimited free tickets to the 2013 show in London. To apply for your tickets follow this link.
At this years show there will of course be the opportunity to meet many of your favourite free from suppliers, whilst having the opportunity to meet some new faces. There will also be cooking classes in the Sainsbury’s cooking zone, free seminars and a chance to meet a range of specialist consultants, support groups and engage in workshops. New this year will be an “Allergy House” where you will be able to discover the best allergy products for your househould. Running simultaneously at Olympia this year will be V Delicious, a vegetarian good food show.
Last year a somewhat slimmer looking version of me discovered some great gluten free products from the likes of Fria and Clive’s Pies. The show also presented a great opportunity to meet up with some of the wonderful gluten free people who had helped me so much in my early days after coeliac diagnosis. Shortly after the 2012 show I was offered the opportunity by Saara Aziz to make my blogging debut for the Gluten Free Student Cookbook, and you can read my review of the 2012 Allergy Show here: http://www.glutenfreestudentcookbook.co.uk/2012/05/29/london-allergy-free-from-show-2012-guest-blog-post/
If you will also be travelling some distance to London, then it’s very much worth spending a few days in the capital exploring some of the great gluten free places to eat. For a few ideas have a read of a blog post on one of my previous trips to London here.
So what are you waiting for? Grab your free tickets to the Allergy and Free From Show here and I will hopefully see you there!
