The Royal Highland Show celebrates the best in food, farming, and rural life, giving visitors the chance to get up close to animals, taste the best in local Scottish produce and buy from a variety of local businesses selling clothes, artwork, and jewellery, just to name a few.
Foodies can indulge in a range of delicious and locally produced food and drink from Scotland’s best suppliers as well as watch some of chef cooking demos in our Food For Thought theatre.
Over in the forestry arena, watch in awe at the speedy pole climbers, insane bmx flips and tricks, axe throwing and chainsaw carving.
Families can have the perfect day out with our kid zone for them to play, marvel at the majestic machinery in the agricultural zone or learn about all things agriculture at the RHET Discovery Centre. Kids 15 and under are welcome to the show free of charge!
