Glee Birmingham 2027 — Garden Trade Show at NEC

Glee has been the beating heart of the UK garden retail trade for over half a century, and the 2027 edition lands at the NEC Birmingham from 6 to 8 September. It's where independents, multiples and buying groups come to source wholesale garden products, meet new suppliers and set their ranges for the season ahead. Across 11 product sectors — from garden care, plants and landscaping to home, gift, pet, food and outdoor entertaining — visitors can explore more than 10,000 lines from over 400 exhibiting brands. The show is built around face-to-face meetings, with buyers writing orders on the spot and opening new accounts. For 2027, Glee co-locates with Autumn Fair (5–8 September), creating Europe's largest combined home, gift and garden trade event of the second half of the year. That means one visit gives access to 20,000+ buyers across the two shows — garden, home, gift and fashion all under one roof at the NEC. Beyond the show floor, Glee programmes keynote talks, expert-led seminars and the New Product Awards, giving retailers a clear read on where the market is heading. Free parking and a well-connected NEC location — with Birmingham International station a five-minute walk away — make the trip straightforward.
