Following the resounding success of the 2024 event, Glee is set to return to the NEC Birmingham from 16th to 18th September 2025, promising an even more spectacular showcase of the garden retail sector.

 

As the UK’s leading garden and outdoor living trade exhibition, Glee continues to evolve, and this year’s reconfigured layout in NEC Halls 8-12 ensures an enhanced visitor experience with a fresh and dynamic feel.

 

With excitement building, Glee 2025 is already seeing an unprecedented level of exhibitor rebookings. From established big-name brands to innovative newcomers, the show floor is filling fast, demonstrating the industry’s commitment to this must-attend event. Visitors can look forward to a wealth of inspiring features, including cutting-edge product launches, engaging educational content, and opportunities to celebrate innovation, debate, and collaboration.

 

Adding to the anticipation, Glee 2025 is set to redefine the trade show experience with exciting new additions to its line-up. These updates aim to showcase the evolution of trade events, offering fresh perspectives and enhanced value for decision-makers and department heads. With an emphasis on creating meaningful connections and actionable insights, the forthcoming announcements promise to further solidify Glee’s position as a pivotal event in the garden retail calendar.

 

Matthew Mein, Glee Event Director, commented: “The 2024 show set a new benchmark, and we’re thrilled to build on that momentum for 2025. The reconfiguration of the halls is a key step in ensuring we deliver a truly valuable and inspiring experience for exhibitors and visitors alike. We’re looking forward to unveiling new elements that reflect the evolving needs of the industry and highlight the importance of trade shows in driving business growth.”

 

As Glee continues to expand its offering, exciting additions to the 2025 programme will be announced in the coming months, showcasing the show’s commitment to staying at the forefront of the garden retail sector. For those looking to be part of the action, now is the time to secure your place and join the conversation shaping the future of garden retail.
