Sarah Blithe and Murray Batger set up the Huband's Energy solar panel display in readiness for the Northland Home & Lifestyle Show.

Sarah Blithe and Murray Batger set up the Huband's Energy solar panel display in readiness for the Northland Home & Lifestyle Show.

Do-it-yourself is still in the average homeowner's DNA and if anyone can, a Kiwi can.

That is why at least 10,000 people are expected to visit the three-day, annual
Northland Home & Lifestyle Show which opens at the ASB Stadium in Whangārei on Friday.

They will not all be sizing up the tools and DIY projects, though. ''Lifestyle'' is a key word.

More than 130 local and national companies will show their wares, with everything from renovating needs to leisure products on display

The Northland expo has a waiting list of businesses wanting to exhibit.

Food and other refreshment stalls will also showcase Northland products.

The event drew 10,000 visitors in its fourth year last year, with more expected this time around.

Sarah Blithe, from Huband's Energy, said the company takes a decent-sized stall every year and always notices an after-show flow of people into the store.

''It's absolutely good for business. We wouldn't miss it. It's a great way to come into summer, promoting our solar panels, for example.''

Blithe said staffing the stall has become a ''smooth operation'' over the years. ''It's a lot of fun.''

This year Northern Advocate parent company NZME has taken over managing the show, as it has done with similar expos in Whanganui, Rotorua and Manawatu.

"We will bring the best businesses from all over New Zealand to exhibit beside the best of our local Northland companies, all into one venue for one great weekend." said Renee Murray, from NZME Events.
