Block off Saturday the 11^th of October 2008 if you are thinking about a divorce. As on that day the United Kingdom's first ever divorce fair called Starting Over Show will be held. The event, dubbed "All the things you need to know about breaking up and starting over in one Starting Over Show" is to be held at Brighton's racecourse in East-Sussex.

At the SOS-fair couples and soon-to-be divorcees can obtain advice from lawyers, health experts, financial and business advisors. On a lighter note, visitors will be able to enjoy themselves in a chill-out room and see pole dancers.

The event is the brainchild of female internet hero Suzy Miller. As co-founder and director of certainshops.com, an online business that lists and recommends quality-checked professionals in legal, financial and creative industries, she was able to retain sufficient advisors for the event.

Multi-tasker Suzy is also author of bloggingforblondes.com, a humourous blog for non-techy women who want to know about web 2.0.

Miller's focus is on the financial side of divorce, as she told various media: the fair may help people struggling with the credit crunch, who may to be too frightened to split because of financial fears.

Other countries that have seen divorce fairs are Austria in October 2007 and Switserland in June 2008.
