For three days, Arena Nova transforms into an experience space dedicated to hunting, dogs, nature, and culinary enjoyment.

At the heart of it is a top-class supporting program: impressive dog presentations showcase the versatility of our four-legged companions—from hunting work to search-and-rescue dogs and police dogs. The program is complemented by practical insights into processing game, cooking demonstrations, tastings, and certified game sommeliers.

A special focus is on the nature trail, which brings nature to life—especially for children and young people. Using all their senses, they discover the forest habitat: walking barefoot over natural ground, feeling materials, strolling through small forest landscapes, and getting to know local flora and fauna. In a playful way, they develop an understanding of nature, biodiversity, and sustainable action. The trail brings real nature experiences into the exhibition hall.

In addition, the fair offers a wide variety of exhibitors: from hunting clothing and traditional attire to accessories, furniture, and vehicles, as well as hunting and sporting firearms, optics, and modern night-vision technology. Regional cuisine, game specialties, and selected wines and spirits round out the offering.

Apropos Jagd combines experience, knowledge, and enjoyment—and makes nature and hunting tangible for all generations.

Home & Garden 2027: More than a trade fair – a look at the living of tomorrow

Home & Garden 2027 at Arena Nova will open its doors from February 25 to 28, 2027, once again showing just how diverse, inspiring and, above all, holistic the topic of living is understood today. Visitors can expect not only a classic building and garden fair, but a platform where the home is reimagined.

Following the successful expansion with a dedicated Interior & Design hall, this concept will be consistently continued in 2027: indoor and outdoor areas will be given equal focus. This brings together all aspects of living – from initial planning to construction and energy, right through to furnishings, design and the garden.

Living doesn’t start with the walls – but with the feeling

A key theme of Home & Garden 2027 is the question of how we want to live in the future. Living has long been about more than function – it’s about atmosphere, personality and creating spaces that fit your life. The Interior & Design hall picks up on exactly this idea: with modern living concepts, stylish furniture, innovative lighting solutions and many details that turn a house into a home.

Think sustainably. Implement smartly.

In 2027, sustainability, energy efficiency and future-ready building methods will once again take centre stage. Visitors will get a comprehensive overview of modern heating systems, innovative materials and smart technologies. The focus is clearly on practical solutions – presented in an easy-to-understand way and ready to implement.

The garden as a second living room

Outdoor spaces are increasingly becoming an extension of the living area. Home & Garden 2027 shows how gardens can be designed to be functional, aesthetic and sustainable. Climate-friendly concepts, nature-inspired design and current trends such as vertical gardens provide inspiration for your own green oasis.

Knowledge, exchange and personal advice

In addition to the exhibition areas, the fair will once again offer a varied supporting programme in 2027. Expert talks, professional tips and personal consultation sessions make Home & Garden a place for exchange. It’s not just about getting information – it’s about getting clear answers to individual questions.

A strong platform for exhibitors

The combination of interested visitors, trade audiences and industry professionals makes Home & Garden an attractive platform for exhibitors. By bringing together construction, gardens and interiors, valuable synergies and new perspectives emerge for everyone involved.

Statement

“Home & Garden is continuously evolving. Our goal is to present the topic of living in a holistic way and not only showcase products to our visitors, but above all provide inspiration and practical solutions,” says Gerald Stangl, Managing Director of Arena Nova.

“The combination of construction, garden, and interior creates a special dynamic – for exhibitors as well as for our audience.”

Conclusion

Home & Garden 2027 promises to be more than a classic trade fair: a place full of ideas, inspiration and personal encounters. A place where it becomes clear how we will live in the future – and how that way of living can already be implemented today.

Spring Vitality & Enjoyment: Inspiration for a Good Life

From April 10 to 12, 2026, the Arena Nova will once again be all about well-being, joie de vivre, and conscious living. Spring Vitality & Enjoyment invites visitors to recharge their batteries, find inspiration, and actively immerse themselves in the world of health, enjoyment, and balance. The trade fair has long established itself as a fixed point for everyone who wants to bring body, mind, and everyday life into harmony. Numerous exhibitors present innovative products and services related to health, vitality, longevity, nutrition, exercise, mental strength, as well as beauty and lifestyle.

The focus is on personal experience: visitors can try out offers directly, receive individual advice, and take away new impulses for their own lifestyle—from health checks and fitness and relaxation offers to the latest trends from the world of holistic health.

Experience Movement, Balance, and Inspiration Live

A varied program of demonstrations and hands-on activities makes the fair a real experience. From high-energy workouts like yoga, qigong, and shiatsu to taekwondo and square dancing, movement can be experienced in all its facets.

A special highlight is the impressive performances by Aerial Passion with aerial acrobatics, as well as interactive program points such as belly dancing or sound work with tuning forks. Visitors are invited not only to watch but to get active themselves and try something new.

Exciting Lectures on Current Health Topics

In the lecture areas, visitors can expect a diverse program with experts from various fields. The focus is on longevity and healthy aging, nutrition, detoxification, circulation, and holistic healing methods. Lectures on topics such as “How we can influence our biological clock,” “Silent inflammation,” “Holistic healing,” or “The power of sound and energy work” offer valuable insights and concrete impulses for everyday life.

Enjoyment, Variety, and New Impulses

Culinary enjoyment is also a top priority: the popular gourmet market invites you to discover and linger with regional specialties, international delicacies, and tastings. The range is complemented by a wide variety of exhibitors—from natural products, cosmetics, and dietary supplements to fashion, accessories, and innovative everyday solutions.

Additionally, the “forever60”—the “eternally young senior citizens’ fair”—will take place for the fourth time at the Arena Nova.

From April 10 to 12, visitors can expect an interactive program with entertaining content as well as exciting workshops and lectures. In the “digitalfit” program, experts are available daily to answer questions about digital topics—from simple computer applications and helpful apps to current internet scams. A special focus this year is on the opportunities and challenges of Artificial Intelligence, which will also be brought to life in the “Generations’ Playground.”

New to the program is a fitness room that invites participation under expert supervision. In addition, the traveling exhibition “hALT keine GewALT” is visiting, which impressively draws attention to the important topic of violence against older people.

Arena Nova Managing Director Gerald Stangl:

“The Frühling Vital & Genuss is a trade fair that inspires and at the same time provides very specific impulses for everyday life. The combination of information, personal advice, and active experience makes it particularly eventful for our visitors.”
