Fewer visitors to London

Brintex, the organisers of the DIY & Garden Show and Totally Tools, report that the event attracted 2 479 visitors to Earls Court 2 in London from 13 – 15 January 2008. This is 18.5 per cent fewer than last year, when the attendance figure experienced an increase of 17.5 per cent to 3 042. Exhibition director James Murray believes that poor weather was one of the causes of this year’s drop in visitor attendance.
