Four Oaks Trade Show & HortWeek join forces for return of the industry’s favourite event: 2 & 3 September 2026, Cheshire UK

The Four Oaks Trade Show is proud to announce the renewal of its media partnership with HortWeek for 2026. The 54th show takes place on a Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd this year, following the August Bank Holiday.

Four Oaks

For over 50 years at the iconic 23-acre nursery site in Cheshire, the Four Oaks Trade Show has served as a platform for the next season's line launches, technological innovations, and professional networking.

The continued collaboration between leading media brand and the UK's premier international exhibition for the whole of commercial horticulture reinforces a shared commitment to fostering innovation and connectivity within the horticultural sector.

"We are pleased to extend our partnership with HortWeek into 2026", said Karen Kelly for Four Oaks. "Their reach and authority in the sector match the diverse and senior audience we attract to the show. Four Oaks brings everyone together from the horticultural community across Europe and beyond each year. It’s a mix of business and social activity that facilitates buying, relationship building, forging of new partnerships, ideas and innovations – things that thrive by being together in person, in the right environment at the right time of year.

“Stand space is selling strongly and we encourage potential exhibitors to get in touch now to secure the best remaining positions.”

As the official Media Partner, HortWeek will provide comprehensive coverage of the event, which hosts major trade associations as well as hundreds of exhibitors, including around 35% from overseas. The prestigious new plant and product awards will once again highlight the best launches, judged by an independent panel of judges assembled by HortWeek. And the show's free-to-attend conference programme, designed to address current industry challenges and featuring top experts, will this year be wholly produced by HortWeek.
