The Loving Outdoor Living area will return for July’s SOLEX show.
The outdoor space at the NEC offers the opportunity to gather ideas for retail theatre and customer events as outdoor cooking and barbeque exhibitors present their barbeques, outdoor kitchens and firepits in a live setting—complete with serving areas, accessories and lighting— allowing visitors to see how similar experiences could work in their own stores, showrooms or garden centres.
Food is at the centre of the experience. Exhibitors will share tasters straight from the grill, encouraging visitors to stop, chat and discover new flavours. Visitors can see how quickly different products heat up, how temperatures are controlled and how versatile modern outdoor cooking equipment can be.
Chilled summer tunes set the tone throughout the day, creating an easy-going backdrop for meeting suppliers, networking with colleagues or simply taking a breather from the exhibition halls.
Open 11am–5pm on 7 and 8 July and 11am–2pm on 9 July, Thursday, it is the place where visitors naturally gather to unwind, connect and experience outdoor living in action.
