Building on the success of last month’s show, significant expansion plans are on the horizon for Glee 2023, which returns to the NEC on 27-29 June, with plans in the pipeline to ensure that next year’s event will offer increasing opportunities for growth. The show will see its overall footprint increase as it moves from four to five halls.
One exciting development is that Home, Gift & Clothing will evolve into a complete village, reflecting the increased popularity of the product categories within garden retailing. This dedicated area will feature a range on trend products, including decorative accessories, toys, books and outdoor clothing.
Other expanded sectors will include Outdoor Entertaining, featuring garden décor and accessories, as well as Fire, Grill & Chill; DIY and a dedicated sourcing area to facilitate networking between suppliers and retailers.
“The move to June timing marked the biggest change in Glee’s history and we are keen to keep up with the evolving trends and demands that have made gardening and garden retailing one of the most exciting retail stories in recent years,” states Glee’s event director Matthew Mein. “At Glee 2023, the further development of this story will continue apace, as we look to expand and add more value than ever. Watch this space as more information is revealed over the coming months but rest assured next year’s edition of Glee will be bigger, better and brighter than ever!”
