This year marks a step change for the event, as Glee runs alongside Autumn Fair for the first time, together creating the largest retail buying moment of the second half of the year. For buyers across garden, home and gift, it presents a unique opportunity to source across categories, discover new suppliers and tap into a broader retail landscape all in one visit.
With registration now open, buyers, buying teams and retail owners can begin planning their visit, exploring a show floor that brings together hundreds of brands, new product launches and proven bestsellers. From established names to emerging innovators, Glee remains the destination to discover what is next in garden retail and what will drive sales in the seasons ahead.
While Glee retains its distinct identity, the co-location introduces a powerful new dynamic. With crossover days and seamless access between both shows, visitors can move effortlessly between garden, home and gift, gaining a clearer view of how categories connect and how products translate across different retail environments.
From plants at the heart of Green Heart to garden care, outdoor living, home, gift and lifestyle, Glee reflects the full breadth of a fast-evolving sector. Feature areas including all-new Food Hall and Food & Beverage, plus Fire, Grill and Chill spotlight key growth areas, while the What’s On programme delivers practical insight into trends, consumer behaviour and future retail opportunities. Elsewhere, the New Product Showcase will once again highlight the latest launches, offering a fast-track way to discover innovation and bestselling lines.
