Glee Roadshow heads east this spring
Glee, the UK’s leading garden and outdoor living trade show, has announced the return of its Glee Roadshow this spring, bringing industry discussion and collaboration to the East of England for the first time.
The one-day event will take place on Wednesday 18 March at Gates Garden Centre, attracting garden retailers from across the region and neighbouring counties.
Designed as a forum for open discussion and shared learning, the Roadshow will explore the key issues, opportunities and trends shaping garden retail at both regional and national level.
Topics will include changing consumer behaviour, operational challenges, innovation, growth opportunities and strategies for future-proofing businesses, offering attendees a clear picture of current market conditions.
The day will focus firmly on the present, encouraging honest conversations, peer-to-peer insight and practical problem-solving, with the aim of delivering takeaways retailers can apply in their own operations.
Matthew Mein, Event Director of Glee and Autumn Fair, said the positive response to last year’s Roadshow highlighted the value of retailers coming together to share experiences and solutions in a supportive environment.
He added that bringing the Roadshow to the East would help identify both local influences and wider themes affecting the garden retail sector, while creating space for thoughtful and informed discussion.
Attendance is free but limited, with the event running from 11am to 4pm. Retailers are encouraged to register early via the Glee website to secure a place.
