Consumer Shows
Glee 2012 – The Garden Retail Show, Mon 17 - Wed 19 September, NEC Birmingham
Garden centres are increasingly turning to new gift products, particularly Speciality Foods, Drinks and Confectionery, in order to satisfy the raft of new customers attracted by destination leisure shopping venues.  This is an opportunity to showcase your products in a new Food & Catering Zone.  This dedicated area is designed to be a real hub for all things food related – from Confectionery and Snacks to Speciality Foods.  This will not only give you a space to sell your products and network with buyers, but also the unique opportunity to have your products promoted in the Zone as part of the tasting demonstrations.  Producers from the South East can be part of the show at a discounted cost of £924.  Further details here.

Keeping it Local (Oxfordshire), Mid September
