Any ideas on how to rneder this completely over the top description of a bathroom fittings fair. I'm loathe to describe a bathroom fittings fair as having a soul of its own. At the moment I have "with real character" but would welcome ideas

… The unique [Toilet Place]
or [The Toilet place] that’s unique
or [The Toilet Place] with a unique character.
By the way, you’re not “loathe to” do anything, though you might be “loth” to do something.
I suppose “Want a really good crappy experience? You need out toilets!” wouldn’t work here.

the only ceramic and bathroom exhibition with a real knack
Well, that´s something of a more than dishonest circumvention, but then the author should know that you cannot say that in English -it is tantamount to instantaneously evoke Henry's definition, and then, as we say in Spanish, "el remedio es peor que la enfermedad".
And I would have gone to the pshrink immediately if THAT had occurred to me. Bathroom with a soul? Spiritual tiles? Ugh.
