Following the resounding success of last year’s inaugural event, the Longford Leader & Longford Live is thrilled to announce the return of the region’s premier home development showcase.
The 2026 Longford Leader & Longford Live Build & Renovate Expo will officially return to The Longford Arms Hotel on Saturday, October 10 and Sunday, October 11.
Celebrating Last Year's Standout Debut
Last year’s debut Expo exceeded all expectations, attracting a massive turnout of homeowners, first-time buyers, tradespeople, and interior enthusiasts from across Longford and the surrounding counties.
Across two buzzing days, large numbers of attendees packed the venue to access expert advice, source cutting-edge materials, and explore modern home improvement solutions.
The premier event established itself as an essential one-stop hub for anyone looking to build from scratch, retrofit an existing property, or modernise a living space. Exhibitors praised the incredible turnout, noting an unprecedented volume of direct customer engagements and long-term project bookings.
What to Expect for 2026
Building on that momentum, this year's Expo promises to be even better. Visitors can look forward to direct access to industry specialists spanning every stage of the property journey—from architects, financial advisers, and mortgage specialists to sustainable energy consultants, kitchen designers, and interior designers.
Attendees will also benefit from direct conversations with experts, modern retrofitting guidance, grant application advice, and much much more.
