Today’s spotlight is already making me hungry just thinking about it - Donna’s Homemade. A fantastic small cake making, homemade jams and chuntney enterprise hmmmmm. I cannot wait to get sampling!

The great thing about the Southern Baby and Family Day is finding these bespoke stalls that offer something you just cannot buy in the shops! I can’t think of anything better on a cold winters lunch time wrapped up inside eating bread and cheese with homemade jams and chuntney, yum! (I am picturing a log fire, great kitchen table with us all huddled around watching the snow fall outside….) Just a perfect english picture. I had better get to that stand and start making that vision a reality!. Donna is also making up christmas hampers - Outside stand

Lucy, the founder of the company will be at the show to help all us mum’s back into shape after the anti-natal period. Do you remember when you could fit into those skinny jeans? or felt like you always used to have energy? Lucy will show us how easy it is to get that back! I for one will be heading there - I have a special dress that I want to fit into by the time April comes round! - Entertainment Marquee

A family run business that came about when a small little addition was made to the family and a need for new and distinctive gifts and clothing was made. The products aren’t your usual high street brands - they stock an exciting range of clothes for the cutest little girls and the gorgeous little boys. An instant favourite for me is the Collette the Cow Dress - honestly check it out!

With a lovely range of gifts and cards too this is a haven of unique baby clothes and gifts, there are some wonder brands that you just can’t find on the high street. A definite stall to see at the show and set about kitting out your little one in this seasons must have’s. - Stand 37 Grandstand

I have always found it difficult to find good quality and nice pyjamas or nightwear for my daughter at a great price - that was until I found this site! With a website just full of lovely different designs of nighties, pyjamas, sleeping bags, slippers and blankets I can’t wait to see them in real life at the show (I have a terrible feeling I will be coming home with plenty of blankets and slippers!)

Perfect for stocking fillers (Yes christmas really is coming!) and owned by a wonderful lady this is going to be one of the must see stands of the show, I am really hoping there is going to be hotwater bottles for sale - they are gorgeous!
