A brand-new event is heading to Nelson Mandela Bay, bringing together homeowners, renovators, designers and businesses under one roof for a weekend dedicated to all things home and lifestyle.
The inaugural Live Beautifully Home Expo will take place on 10 and 11 October 2026 at the Boardwalk Hotel & Conference Centre’s Exhibition Area in Gqeberha, marking the return of a dedicated home expo to the Metro after several years.
A Fresh Addition to the Bay’s Events Calendar
Organisers say the two-day expo is designed to connect homeowners with trusted suppliers and showcase the latest products, services and ideas for creating beautiful living spaces.
From construction and décor to solar energy, landscaping, security, swimming pools and smart home solutions, the event aims to offer something for anyone looking to renovate, upgrade or simply find inspiration.
“As the first dedicated Home Expo to be held in the Metro in approximately seven years, we’re excited to create a platform where homeowners can connect with trusted suppliers and service providers, while businesses can showcase their products and expertise to an engaged audience,” said the organisers.
Opportunities for Local Businesses
Businesses from across the home and lifestyle sector are being invited to secure exhibition space and take advantage of the opportunity to connect directly with potential customers.
Organisers expect approximately 2,500 visitors over the course of the weekend, providing exhibitors with the chance to generate leads, launch new products and increase brand awareness.
Whether specialising in furniture, kitchens, bathrooms, electrical solutions, home finance, gardening, pools or solar energy, businesses are encouraged to secure their spots early.
