Garden furniture and products exhibition Glee is to take place alongside Autumn Fair next year.
Last year the show moved from its historic June slot to September and this year will run from 16-18 September at the NEC. Next year it will happen on 8-10 September, with Autumn Fair taking place from 6-9 September.
‘Sitting alongside Autumn Fair, Glee will continue as a dedicated three-day showcase for the garden, leisure, and pet industries. Each show will continue to bring their distinct identity, voice, and ethos. Aligning both events unlocks extensive commercial opportunities. The thousands of retail buyers attending Autumn Fair and Glee will benefit from expanded cross-sector buying opportunities, accessing a wider range of suppliers, trends, and innovations,’ says Jackson Szabo, Hyve Group retail portfolio director.
‘Enhancing return on investment for all participants, the co-location delivers cost and time efficiencies, providing strong insight into broader consumer trends that are driving growth opportunities for both audiences. Ultimately, co-location will foster new business partnerships, streamline the sourcing experience, strengthen innovation, and drive increased sales for all involved, resulting in an exceptionally powerful and uniquely comprehensive trade event.’
