Update
Glee 2026 will take place as a live trade exposition at NEC Birmingham between 08-10.09.2026.
A Brief Overview
Glee is the international trade show for the garden and leisure sectors that brings you fun ideas and best practices on how to gain the best outdoor living. The main focus in terms of products falls on landscaping, garden design and furniture and the event is a perfect way to bridge supply and demand. Birmingham, UK hosts editions on an annual basis and over the years, the show audience has grown upwards of 7 000 trade visitors. In terms of organisation, the space will feature over 500 exhibitors, who will be blocked off into eight specifically themed sectors!
An Industry Profile
As we have mentioned above, Glee incorporates a comprehensive and well-defined layout that makes it easy to browse for the right kind of products. These sectors also show the product wealth displayed each year:
- Garden care;
- Horticulture and garden ornamentations;
- Catering and food;
- Retail services;
- Outdoor recreation;
- Pets;
- Home, gift, and clothing.
Gardening is an all-British pastime, and it is why most exhibitors will represent British taste and ingenuity while opening the market to other countries looking to make a purchase. Garden centres, DIY retailers, florists, online retailers, distributors, and garden designers are some professionals you can look forward to meeting.

Tom Many thanks for your e mail. I have left some feedback with the hotel but I thought the hotel was excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful, the gym was usefeul & the food was excellent. In terms of location it was perfect. I would definitely recommend the hotel for future stays. 5 stars from me & if it is good enough to accommodate both Robbie savage and Howard Webb then it was good enough for me. In terms of your service you provided it was excellent and hassle free – it takes the stress out of looking for hotels. Are you a partner for the accommodation side of DSEi as we will probably look to exhibit in 2017 – I would love to stay at the hotel again but recognise that you can only book maybe 10 – 12 months in advance ?
Regards Scott

Dear Tom,
I hope you are doing well.
Thank you for your message.
We were very satisfied with the STAYERY Frankfurt Sachsenhausen. The rooms were great and the location worked very well for us. It took us around 20 minutes by car to reach CPHI in the morning, which was perfect.
The only very small downside is that our rooms were not all located close to each other – only 2 out of 4 colleagues had rooms next to each other. This is not a major issue at all, more of a small detail, but I am mentioning it as feedback.
I will try to complete the questionnaire later today.
Regarding your question about preliminary rates for next year, as far as we know, the 2026 edition of CPHI will be held in Milan, not in Frankfurt – which is why I am not sure I fully understand the proposal to review hotel rates for the same hotel next year. Could you clarify this point?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Constance Vigne

Hello George,
The rooms are comfortable, quiet and very clean. Excellent breakfast with a wide choiche and alternatives available. Corridors need refurbishing as the carpeting is really worn out, as well as room doors. Hotel restaurant closed on sunday but other restaurants are available at walking distance. Taxis to Prowein quite expensive. If traffic is smooth, it takes approx 20 minutes to get to the Exhibition ground.

Nick Lloyd is very helpful, and friendly. He replies to questions quickly and informatively. We did not end up booking anything due to other reasons, but I would recommend Nick Lloyd to anyone wanting to book accommodation for conferences.
