SOCKSHOP’s debut at Glee 2025 was a clear success – so much so that the team rebooked immediately for next year’s show, which will be co-located with Autumn Fair in 2026.

Visitors responded enthusiastically to SOCKSHOP’s diverse collection of socks and accessories, with the newly launched RHS range drawing particular attention. A major highlight came when the RHS x Heat Holders® Wellington Boot Socks were shortlisted in the final four for the prestigious Home Award category, celebrating both comfort and botanical beauty.

The SOCKSHOP stand welcomed a steady flow of interest from buyers and garden retail professionals, many of whom placed firm orders during the event. Their positive feedback affirmed that SOCKSHOP’s trusted brands — including Heat Holders, Gentle Grip, IOMI FootNurse, and Country Pursuit — offer exactly what garden centre customers are looking for: high-quality products with strong shelf appeal and gift potential.

The team also enjoyed building relationships with fellow exhibitors and sharing their passion for socks - a passion that was evident throughout the show. With great conversations, strong leads, and a successful introduction to the garden retail sector, GLEE proved to be the perfect platform for SOCKSHOP’s first appearance.

Expect to see them back next year, bigger and bolder, at Glee & Autumn Fair 2026.
