Go outside, breathe, and feel the difference. You’ll have all the feels at the 2026 East Coast Radio House + Garden Show.  From contemporary outdoor lighting to custom braai firepits, decking to camping trailers, the show has gone all out!

Outdoors is in, and KZN loves to get out there. Whether it’s in your own garden or bundu bashing over dirt roads, it clears your head and heart.

This year’s show brings you a vast range of quality patio and garden enhancements, camping trailers and twinkling garden lights, a myriad gadgets and goodies to enhance your outdoor experience.

Beyond merchandise, there’s a great line-up of wonderful interactions with those heroes who protect our wildlife all the way through to those who’re out to prove their braai skills are better than yours.

Is your patio a little tired and dated? Does your townhouse garden need embellishment? Looking for the perfect camping tracks or trailers? Investing in your lifestyle is worth every cent!

Nothing brings magic to an outdoor area like garden lights, and the Inta-Stellar Group is showing off their three core string light ranges. Upgraded with new features, they’re the answer to everybody’s ‘I want outdoor lights I don’t have to worry about.’ Call it ‘a true set-it-and-forget-it’ solution for the outdoor entertainer.
