Autumn Fair will take place 6th – 9th September 2026 and Glee will take place 8th – 10th September 2026. This strategic move by two industry-leading trade exhibitions unlocks multiple benefits for their respective sectors, creating a stronger, future-proofed platform that supports the long-term retail growth and successes of the industries they represent. Driven by industry feedback, extensive research, and considered planning to streamline the buying calendar the co-location will deliver new opportunities, maximise return on investment and enhance the experience for both exhibitors and visitors. Sitting alongside Autumn Fair, the UK’s leading home, gift, and fashion exhibition with a four-day content programme, Glee, the premier event for the garden retail sector, 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. Delivering tangible value across the board, aligning both events unlocks extensive commercial opportunities. Exhibitors gain access to a broader network of high-quality buyers spanning home, gift, and garden sectors. Meanwhile, 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. Enhancing return on investment for all participants, the colocation 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.
