Registration opens for Glee 2026
Registration is now open for Glee 2026, with the industry preparing for three days of product sourcing, networking and retail insight at the NEC Birmingham from 8–10 September 2026.
This year’s event marks a significant development for Glee as it co-locates alongside Autumn Fair for the first time, creating what organisers describe as Europe’s largest retail buying moment of the second half of the year.
The partnership will provide buyers across garden, home and gift sectors with seamless access between both exhibitions, allowing visitors to explore wider retail trends, discover crossover product opportunities and meet suppliers across multiple categories during a single visit.
Glee 2026 will once again showcase hundreds of brands, new product launches and established suppliers spanning plants, garden care, outdoor living, food, gifting and lifestyle categories.
Feature areas this year include the Green Heart plant section, an expanded Food Hall and Food & Beverage offering, and the Fire, Grill and Chill showcase focusing on outdoor leisure and entertaining.
The event’s What’s On programme will also deliver insight into consumer trends, retail strategy and future opportunities for the garden retail sector, while the New Product Showcase will highlight the latest launches and innovations.
Organisers have also launched a new “Plan Your Visit” hub to help visitors prepare schedules, arrange travel and identify key exhibitors, speakers and feature areas ahead of the event.
