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.

Hello Christine,
The hotel location was perfect, very close to Gare du Nord in a good area. However the hotel was very old and need some refurbishments. In the photos, it looked much nicer than it was in real life.
If you remember, the rooms were without bed and breakfast, but finally the double rooms for 1 night had breakfast included and the other 2 not. When I asked the reception about it, he was not very kind in his answer and told me I made different reservations. I said that it was all done together by an agency.
We hope the feedback may be useful.
Best regards!

all went perfect and smooth thanks

Dear Tom,
We all had a good stay at Motel One in Dusseldorf. Clean, simple rooms but good showers and beds. I stayed one more night which was paid by a cancellation from one of us at the first night. Very reasonable. Am on the way back and we had a succesfull Anuga.
Thanks dor your help.
Best regards,
Martha

Dear Tom,
Thanks for your email. For the Golden Leaf, generally speaking, it is a good experience. There are the tasty apples and free coffee and tea in the lobby. The people in the hotel are very nice. We just complain about the wi-fi in the hotel is not good, I can't use it in my room. I found many guests complaining about it in the reception. But anyway, thanks for your help.
Best regards.
Jan Hundertmark
The hotel was very nice and very close to the fair and we even had some of our customers staying there which was a +.
The only issue was that it was a bit loud due to other guests in the hotel.
As for Tracy she did her job perfectly and we are satisfied with her.
