Glee 2026 will take place as a live trade exposition at NEC Birmingham between 08-10.09.2026.
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!
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:
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.

Dear Tom
Please let me offer you the feedback like this: (I also gave it on the phone to one of your colleagues)
I was happy with my stay in Madrid. Your job was of high quality and high value to me. The location in center of town was wonderful. The price acceptable.
Keep up the good job.
There are no more exhibition planned for this year. I will probably start thinking about next year after the summer.

Hello Ben,
All went good!
CPhI Worldwide 2023
Very pleased with your service..
Good afternoon Ellie,
I had a phone call with our guests this morning, and they were extremely satisfied with their accommodations.
We are not going to attend any other fairs at the moment.
Thank you very much for once again for your support.
Best regards,
Sanne Ferro
Nice and comfortable hotel, very close to the exhibition.
An excellent hotel, with good rooms and a great outdoor space. Very welcoming.
Dear Tom,
The fair went quite well.
They told me that their stay at the Aparthotel Lenau was very good and that they didn't have any major problems. The only drawback was being on the 4th or 5th floor without an elevator (especially for carrying suitcases), and during check-in, some of the terminals weren't working, so it took quite a while, but otherwise, it was in a great location, very easy to park, spacious and clean rooms... Very good.
We are not going to reserve anything for future editions yet, as we are not sure whether we will participate directly or through an agent/distributor.
As soon as we have any needs again, I will contact you, as our experience with you has been very good, with very quick responses and excellent service.
Best regards,
Eli POZO
