For anyone who suffers with allergies, intolerances and more, the Allergy Show is THE place to visit!
The first of the shows for this year kicked off back in March in Glasgow, and was a huge success, as you can read about here!
Now, it’s the turn of London.
This weekend, the Allergy Show returns to Olympia for 3 days of fun, advice, shopping, learning and more!
We absolutely love the Allergy Show, and have been for the past few years. Last year was the best one so far in London, and you can read all about it here.
We have some news!
This year, much as we would love to meet up with our clients, and also our blogging friends, not to mention the lovely team behind the Allergy Show, we won’t be able to make it.
We’ve kept it under wraps until now, but Mr Intolerant G and I are getting married this weekend!!! Eeeeek! So we might not be making the show, but we’ve got a pretty good excuse, wouldn’t you agree?!
Now, we want to help you all out as much as possible, so we thought we’d share a list of just some of the fantastic people/ companies you should pop along and meet at the show. Let them know we sent you!
The Exhibitors

She has created the most wonderful books for children with allergies, a workshop for schools and even a fact finding hunt for every single show.

Haydn’s Wish (stand A367) – it’s not possible to visit a show and not see the wonderful Emma and her lovely team! The charity is named in memory of her son Haydn who sadly passed away after an anaphylactic response to peanut in his breakfast. Emma has used her experience to raise as much awareness as possible to keep others safe! Emma is quite simply an inspiration to us all, and I urge you to pop by and say hi!
