Event overview
pool + garden Tulln 2027 is Austria's leading public fair for pools, wellness and garden living, running 18–21 March 2027 at Messe Tulln.
Across four days, 240 exhibitors show pools, whirlpools, saunas, garden furniture, shading and landscaping ideas for the coming season, building on the 45,726 visitors recorded in 2026.
The fair sits 30 km west of Vienna and shares its ticket with the co-located Kulinar Tulln food show, giving buyers a full day of garden and kitchen inspiration.
TL;DR
Visit to compare pool, sauna and garden products side by side before the spring build season. The show combines full-size pool displays, garden furniture and planting ideas with daily talks, so a homeowner can leave with a shortlist of suppliers and a realistic budget.
Exhibit to reach affluent homeowners and garden owners in Austria's largest metropolitan region at the start of the buying season. The co-located Kulinar Tulln adds footfall, and the four-day run gives exhibitors time to qualify leads, book site surveys and sell installation packages.

Edition recap
The 2026 pool + garden Tulln drew 45,726 visitors over four days at Messe Tulln, confirming its place as Austria's spring meeting point for pools, wellness and garden living. The 2027 edition returns 18–21 March with 240 exhibitors.
New this edition
Kulinar Tulln on the same ticket
The 2027 fair runs alongside the Kulinar Tulln food show, so one ticket covers both exhibitions.
SourceImpact
The fair concentrates Austria's spring garden and pool buying into four days. Its pull is regional rather than global: homeowners from Vienna and Lower Austria arrive ready to compare installed pools, saunas and furniture, and many leave with a site-visit booking rather than a single product.
Audience quality
Audience quality is strong for high-ticket home improvement. Visitors are mostly owner-occupiers with a garden project, plus landscape designers and property managers sourcing for clients. The co-located food show widens dwell time, but exhibitors should expect a consumer mix rather than pure trade buyers.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI depends on booked surveys and deposits, not badge scans. A 9 sqm shell on a four-day public fair can work for a focused pool or furniture offer, while larger raw-space displays suit installed pools and outdoor kitchens. Qualify budget and installation timing on the stand.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Tulln is the consumer gateway to the Vienna garden market. The fair opens the spring season with installed pools and full garden sets, so buyers can compare suppliers before the construction window fills. For brands, it delivers concentrated, high-intent footfall within a short drive of the capital.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Outdoor rooms replace single-purpose gardens
Homeowners are treating terraces as extra living rooms, combining shade, lighting, outdoor kitchens and lounge furniture into one scheme. Exhibitors that can package these elements together are winning larger projects.
What it changes: Bundled outdoor-living offers raise average order values and make the fair a one-stop specification trip.
Energy and water efficiency move into pool design
Heat pumps, solar covers, variable-speed pumps and water-treatment systems are being sold on running cost, not just purchase price. Austrian buyers increasingly ask for efficiency figures alongside the pool shell.
What it changes: Efficiency claims give exhibitors a reason to start a technical conversation and justify premium equipment.
Natural pools and low-maintenance planting gain share
Swimming ponds and chemical-free natural pools are moving from niche to mainstream in Austrian gardens. At the same time, drought-tolerant planting and permeable paving are becoming standard in landscaping briefs.
What it changes: This creates demand for specialist builders, nurseries and landscapers alongside traditional pool contractors.
Buyers typically compare Tulln with the August garden fair in the same venue and with the larger Cologne and Lyon shows. The spring Tulln date is the earliest chance to see installed pools and garden sets before the building season.
