Horsham Historic Home Show - Exhibitors
General Information
The Horsham Historic Home Expo is targeted at owners of both old and not so old homes in the Horsham area. Exhibitors may be craftsmen, contractors, supppliers, architects, designers, etc. Although the show is not limited to owners of historic homes, we prefer exhibitors with special skills, knowledge, or products that are applicable to older and/or historic homes.
The exhibit space can accommodate up 22 exhibitors. Since the number of exhibitors is limited we may limit the products or services that an exhibitor may represent in order to provide as much variety for the show attendees as possible and to make the show a valuable as possible for each exhibitor. For example, we do not want to have 5 window suppliers, etc. Decisions on these types of matters will be made primarily on a first come first served basis but final decisions will be up to the show director.
The Home Show is being presented by the Horsham Preservation and Historical Association, Horsham Historical Advisory Commission, Greater Horsham Chamber of Commerce, and a very generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous.
