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 7000 trade visitors. In terms of organization, 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 boasts a clearly 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; landscaping and garden decorations; food and catering; retail experience and services; outdoor entertainment; pet product; home, gift and clothing, and plants. 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.
