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.

Thanks for your service. All was good. The location was very close to the central station and city center.
Mr. Dean Thorlakson
In my opinion it was a great location for us. Staff was courteous and nice. Rooms were spacious. Breakfasts were very good with lots of choices. There was a. It of outside noise that bothered the odd person but nothing that was unbearable.
I would definitely stay there again if we were to go back to Hannover.
But that’s just my 2 cents worth.

Dear George,
last week when we came back after Fairs was very busy and I did not replay when it comes to our stay.
We are pretty happy with our stay, rooms were spacious and clea, service was also good.
Although we have some reamarks:
1) Parking - we were staying 7 nights and each and every time when we need to leave parking we had to ask for the new parking card. They were not able to issue a card that opens the gate every time. That was inconvience for us, and they should change it.
2) Breakfast buffet - there was good chioce however not enough vegetables. There were only tomatos and cucumber, no green mix, radishes, bell pepper, we really missed that.
Service were relly nice and supportive.
Best regards,
Honorata Michalik

Thanks to Tom who was a great help for us in finding an alternative hotel during the show after we heard at the last minute that our hotel was being used for refugee shelter. Every request for additional rooms was handled accurately and professionally. It is very pleasant to work with Tom.

Good Morning Tracy,
how are you?
Just a quick feed back about Gideon Hotel.
Excellent, confortable, good cleaning, lovely position in the center of Nuernberg, good connection with the exhibition center.
Katharinenhaus parking place for the cars was just round the corner 5 minutes walking. Very good.
Breakfast not so much to be honest.
Check in a little bit complicate after 08.00 pm.
Generally speaking it was good.
Thank you so much for your co-operation.
Keep in touch.
Best Regrads.
