How it works

Autumn Fair and Glee stay two distinct shows, each with its own identity. The difference in 2026 is what your ticket now covers.
 

Register once, for free, and your badge gets you into both shows on 8 and 9 September. No second registration, no extra cost. Write orders across home, gift, fashion and lifestyle at Autumn Fair, then walk into garden retail next door. Autumn Fair opens first on Sunday 6 September, so you can be three days into your buying before Glee even starts.

 

Dates What's open
Sunday 6 – Wednesday 9 September Autumn Fair
Tuesday 8 – Thursday 10 September Glee
Tuesday 8 – Wednesday 9 September Both shows
