If you register online at the Homebuilding & Renovating Show, you can get up to two free tickets for this year's shows.

Ticket prices vary for each show, but they would normally cost up to £12 at most (plus a £1.50 booking fee if purchased online – waived for this promo). You can use the free tickets on any one day of the show, and you don't need to tell it in advance which day you're going. 

You can claim tickets for this year's shows at:

• ExCeL London – 6,000 available
• Harrogate Convention Centre, Harrogate – 8,000 available
• Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet, Somerset – 4,500 available

You can get free tickets until 3pm the day before each event, or until they're all claimed, whichever's sooner. Tickets will be emailed to you and you'll need to either print them out at home or print them out at the show's ticket desk. Children aged 16 or under can attend for free and don't need to book in advance.

What is the Homebuilding & Renovating Show?

It includes big brands exhibiting their latest products, plus free seminars and masterclasses, and one-to-one advice led by experts within the industry on topics such as design, self-builds, energy efficiency, budgets and legal issues.

Thinking about buying some new homeware? You can get £5 off a £30 spend at B&Q.

If you go online to B&Q you can browse its clearance section for bargains, with up to 60% off a selected range of DIY, home and garden items that changes regularly subject to stock. Delivery's £5, or free if you collect in a store (find your nearest).

As is the nature of a clearance, stock is limited, so you'll have to move quickly if you see something you want. It's also worth checking if there's a clearance section in your local store, but obviously what's available will vary from place to place.
