marcus Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hi Leicester is not the most obvious place most will associate with France...but the city is only 65 mins from the new st pancras international rail terminal, opening in November. To celebrate the citys new Eurostar link, it is hosting the "france show live" at leicester racecourse on Sunday Feb 18th- a holiday, food, drink, property and lifestyle expo with a mix of national brand names standing alongside local firms such as stylish bistro's and repro furniture makers. Google "the france show live" for more info Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Clearly - Marcus is the press officer for the event, so you can't blame him for trying!Looks like a decent enough show, perhaps someone in the area can pop in and give us some feedback.

Will Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Of course, there is an excellent and deservedly popular cheese that comes from Leicester - just like France. I think that's a better link. Can I have a job in Leicester's PR office?(no, perhaps not, that might mean living in Leicester) [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I think PR folks have never been troubled with little things like geography. Southend airport (yes the one in Essex 50 odd miles from London) was re-launched a while back as 'London Southend Airport' Bet that came as a shock to a few passengers!

Llantony Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I think if this is an advert then the moderator should have banned it! However, it's just a general posting then fair enough - it's useful information. I had already planned to go, but did not connect it with the opening of the St. Pancras connection - which is November 14th I believe. Trouble is, it's probably way more expensive than flying even if better for the environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
