Autumn in Germany brings together gardening and home design shows that distill trends for the following seasons. From 18 to 20 September 2026 LEBENSART MESSE - ALTJEßNITZ 2026 will occupy the Gutspark Altjeßnitz and combine garden, decoration and gastronomy offerings in a Baroque setting.
Practical information and venue
The fair takes place at the Gutspark Altjeßnitz, Parkstraße 5a, 06800 Raguhn-Jeßnitz, OT Altjeßnitz. Opening hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00 with entry closing at 17:30. The park stands out for its Baroque design and for housing one of the largest Baroque mazes in Europe, which affects the layout of exhibitors and the visitor flows within the venue.
Sectors and exhibitor profile
The thematic program includes gardens, plants and floristry; outdoor and indoor furniture; decorative objects; crafts and fine cooking. In the food section there are producers of delicatessen and gourmet beverages. The profile of participating companies includes craft workshops, furniture brands and distributors of plants and garden accessories. The mix suggests that buyers present will combine aesthetic and product criteria with searches for novelties for specialized retail outlets.
Program and announced activities
The event includes practical demonstrations, tastings and presentations related to the themes mentioned. Ambient music and entertainment shows are also scheduled as part of the visitor experience. The organizers indicate that detailed program information will be published approximately one week before the start, along with the list of exhibitors and their locations within the park.
How to approach commercial prospecting
-
Clear objectives. Define three concrete objectives per day: companies to contact, samples to obtain and follow-up agreements to close within 30 days.
-
Pre-selection. Use the exhibitor directory and classification by themes to draw up a visit route by zones of the park. Prioritize stands with product ranges aligned with your offer.
-
Efficient sales materials. Replace redundant paper with digital technical sheets accessible via QR, up-to-date price lists and samples that are easy to transport. Prepare two opening pitches: one about the product and another about commercial terms.
-
Lead management. Establish a capture flow: short mobile form, priority tagging for follow-up and a template email to send within the following 48 hours. Assign team roles for reception, demonstration and closing.
-
On-site agenda. Reserve 45-minute slots for meetings with key suppliers and leave 30-minute windows for spontaneous contacts. Take into account peak visitation times at midday and early afternoon.
What to see and prepare as a professional visitor
Plan your visit by themes: gardening in the morning and interior design in the afternoon, or vice versa depending on your priorities. Bring samples that show quality and product format and have digital files ready to send. Check entry times and parking logistics to optimize time in the park.
