Thousands of visitors crowded to the sell-out BabyExpo on June 27 to enjoy 180+ exhibitors, expert advice, a packed entertainment prog- ramme and fun, fun fun!

Our special guest Phil Gallagher from Cbeebies Mister Maker enraptured visiting children while grown-ups shopped, met expert exhibitors and the team from BBC's Dragon's Den and enjoyed the outside exhibits and fabulous weather!

There were product demos, competitions and prizes to be won throughout, courtesy of the Sponsors and Exhibitors. Hayley Tomlinson from West Sussex claimed her fabulous treasure chest of toys - handpicked by the play experts at 'Early Years Childcare' after wining the Heart Breakfast Show competition while BBC's Dragons Den filmed some of the exciting & innovative baby and child products on display.

The 2011 Sussex event will take place on 26 June and we are currently in discussions with various venues including the new state of the art 'Falmer Stadium'. Headline Sponsors, Guest Speakers and Media Partners are already signed up to what be another fantastic day - to ensure you are updated with all developments make sure you register now for our newsletter! The provisional exhibitor booking form will be live from 21 August with shell scheme stands from £125 and special small business and early bird rates will be available. (We have also been approached to expand the show to 2 further areas in the UK - these shows will be planned for Spring and Autumn and further information will be available soon. Multiple show pricing will also be on offer.)

• Mummy Looks Fab has just come home after yet another amazing baby show courtesy of the lovely folk at SMB Events. On the hottest day of the year with England playing Germany, We didn’t have high hopes for footfall and thanks to the amazing advertising and PR efforts of Suzanne and her team there were over 4000 people through the door on the day. Absolutely phenomenal. Our only question is where do we sign to do the next one? This absolutely proves that Brighton and the South East is crying out for decent baby shows of this scale and Suzanne and her team have delivered one way beyond anyone’s expectations. We had a great day and we can’t wait for the next one!

Over 3,250 visitors attended the last BabyExpo causing queues of over ½ a kilometre round the block as visitors flocked to Brighton for the South’s premium baby show and parenting event.

This is a free event and offers full information on pregnancy and the birth experience as well as advice on adjusting to life with a new-born, what to expect and where support systems can be found. At this sometimes confusing, very exciting and usually expensive time, nothing beats face to face, expert advice be it regarding a complex buggy travel system, designer baby gear, an independent midwife or a breast-feeding bra!

This baby show will help you find all the answers and guide you through the toddler years too - from pre-conception to pre-school and beyond.

Little visitors can enjoy a packed programme of entertainment, bouncy castles, play zones, petting zoos and fun trial classes. Grown-ups can enjoy breast-feeding advisers, baby sleep experts, eco-chic, organic baby food, onsite NCT ante-natal classes, the national WO4 awards, celebrity guests, health visitors, midwives, authors, parenting seminars and the chance to shop for all your pregnancy, baby and toddler needs -all at NO ENTRY CHARGE and under one roof! There's no other Baby show like it!

BabyExpo will feature a wealth of exhibitors so whether you are looking to kit out the nursery, for family-friendly travel advice, local childcare options, baby and toddler food, a designer buggy or inspiration for that special birthday party, we will be able to help. Shop till you drop with a wealth of alternative, unique and independent companies and products which simply cannot be found on the average High Street alongside designer names and national brands.

With FREE entry and ample free parking, this is a Baby Show not to be missed and a really fun day out for all the family!
