WHAT’S NEW!

SOLEX 2023 is pleased to announce its ongoing partnership with BBQ Magazine, who are hosting the Loving Outdoor Living area at this year’s event! Visitors will be able to sample an array of delicious dishes and treats from our incredible BBQ brands that are sure to leave their taste buds tingling. Be sure to check out the Loving Outdoor Living area for a mouth-watering experience you won’t want to miss!

New for 2023, SOLEX is proud to partner with The Landscape Show, the UK’s premier exhibition for garden and outdoor design. As part of this collaboration, the Landscape Show are building a Landscape feature area at SOLEX. The Landscape 2023 Show Garden at Solex will allow visitors to experience the best natural concepts from leading landscape and gardening companies across the UK.

SOLEX 2023 is proud to be collaborating with Perennial and LOFA in the roll out of their new “Promote Health Campaign“. The Interactive Health Kiosk, which is sponsored by LOFA, provides a confidential way for individuals to get a quick assessment of their physical health. This includes measurements such as Wellbeing Age™, Weight, BMI, Body Fat Content, Blood Pressure, and heart rate – all of which were identified in Perennial’s research as being critical issues. At SOLEX 2023 we believe that taking care of one’s health should be paramount and with this campaign we are hoping to encourage just that. Taking a Free Health MOT can take from as little as 8 minutes enabling exhibitors and visitors to self-test key indicators of their general health and well-being and walk away with a personal confidential printout of their results with a comparison to medically accepted standards. These free health checks will help contribute towards helping those who work in our industry stay healthy and safe.
