Glee 2026 Final Preparations

Glee 2026 Starts Tomorrow – Final Preparations for Ornate Garden

Visit Ornate Garden at Stand 20A10, NEC Birmingham

The final preparations are underway as the Ornate Garden team gets ready for Glee 2026, opening tomorrow at the NEC Birmingham.

From checking the displays and preparing the stand to completing those important finishing touches, the team is looking forward to welcoming garden retailers, buyers, designers and outdoor living professionals to Stand 20A10 from Tuesday 8 to Thursday 10 September.

Four distinctive Ornate Garden designs will be exhibited during the show: the Rotating Seater, Ovalhouse, Medium Ovalhouse and Wheelbench.

Each design brings something different to the stand, from contemporary rotating garden pods and panoramic outdoor rooms to handcrafted garden seating.

Four Ornate Garden Designs at Glee 2026

The Rotating Seater

The Rotating Seater combines contemporary styling with practical outdoor living.

Its smooth 360° rotation allows the seating area to be repositioned to make the most of the sunshine, find shade, respond to the breeze or enjoy a different view of the surrounding garden.

With its distinctive spherical design and generous wraparound seating, the Rotating Seater provides a comfortable and sociable setting for relaxing, dining and entertaining outdoors.

The Ovalhouse

The Ovalhouse offers the comfort and versatility of an outdoor room while maintaining a strong connection with the garden.

Its curved architectural form and extensive glazing provide uninterrupted 360° panoramic views, bringing indoor comfort and outdoor living naturally together.

It creates a sheltered space for dining, relaxing or socialising while retaining the light, views and atmosphere of being outdoors.

The Medium Ovalhouse

Visitors will also be able to step inside the Medium Ovalhouse and experience its proportions, panoramic outlook and versatile interior in person.

Designed as a contemporary garden room, it offers a comfortable space for dining, entertaining or simply spending more time outdoors throughout the changing seasons.

Glee also provides an opportunity to view the details and craftsmanship that define each Ornate Garden structure.

The Wheelbench

Completing the display will be the Ornate Garden Wheelbench.

Its circular structure, facing seats and central table create a distinctive outdoor meeting and seating space. Combining traditional character with an unusual architectural form, the Wheelbench is equally suited to private gardens, landscaped settings and outdoor business, education and hospitality venues.

Experience Ornate Garden Designs in Person

Drawings and photography introduce the shape and character of an Ornate Garden design, but visiting the stand provides an opportunity to experience the scale, materials, seating and craftsmanship more closely.

The Ornate Garden team will be available throughout Glee to discuss the different designs, available options and opportunities for garden retailers and outdoor living specialists.

Whether you are interested in contemporary garden pods, panoramic garden rooms or distinctive handcrafted seating, we look forward to meeting you at the NEC Birmingham.

Two Leading Retail Shows at the NEC

For 2026, Glee is being held alongside Autumn Fair for two shared days.

Visitors attending on Tuesday 8 and Wednesday 9 September can access both exhibitions with one registration, bringing together garden retail, outdoor living, home, gift, food and lifestyle products in a single visit.
