Testimonials
At Elements Kitchens, we offer a wide variety of events that aim to develop connections with local businesses and creatives, as well as educate and entertain our local community.
Here are some of the things that people have said about our events:
It's been really interesting. It's made me think differently about my home and a project that we're working on at the moment.
Sarah Helm, Reading Design Trends event attendee
It's really interesting! You don't expect photography or art at a kitchen showroom. It's really lovely to have that interaction and look at something that you hadn't thought of previously.

There was a great atmosphere. The incorporation of local artists into the event was really unique!

Plant Displays | Richfield Garden Centre
We're delighted that Richfield Garden Centre, our neighbours around the corner on Cow Lane, are helping us to demonstrate the impact that plants can have on a space. Plants will be distributed across some of our 17 kitchen displays, while the remainder will not have any plants added. This will help you to gauge the difference that greenery can have on the spaces for yourself.
All the plants will be available to purchase on the day, and the team will be able to provide you with details on the plants themselves as well as any care details. We'll also be able to provide you with guidance as to what types of plants will best suit your home and lifestyle.
