Glee confirms latest exhibitors as anticipation builds for the biggest show in almost 20 years

 

Anticipation for Glee 2025 (16th – 18th September, NEC Birmingham) continues to build as the show gears up for its largest edition since 2005, with over 450 exhibitors expected the show’s across garden, leisure, and outdoor living categories.

 

Glee is spotlighting three of the latest brands joining the line-up — Katie Blake Garden Furniture, Garden Store Direct, and Dutch Imports — each bringing fresh inspiration and product diversity to the show and offering a taste of the many exciting exhibitors confirmed in recent days.

 

Leading the latest additions, Katie Blake Garden Furniture will showcase its premium outdoor dining and lounging collections, further strengthening Glee’s thriving Outdoor Entertaining sector. Also joining is Garden Store Direct, offering retailers a versatile portfolio of contemporary garden furniture, storage, and leisure accessories designed for modern outdoor living.

 

Meanwhile, Dutch Imports — a familiar name at Spring Fair and Autumn Fair — will make their return to Glee in 2025, following a decade long hiatus. Known for their eclectic home and garden décor, their presence will bring fresh visual merchandising inspiration to Glee’s Gift and Homeware sector.

 

Matthew Mein, Glee Event Director, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Katie Blake, Garden Store Direct, and Dutch Imports to Glee 2025. Their presence underscores the show’s unique appeal as a cross-sector sourcing hub for garden retailers. With over 450 exhibitors set to join us this September, Glee 2025 will be the biggest show since 2005, offering an unrivalled platform for discovering new products, suppliers, and future trends in garden retail."
