This year’s Show will run from Thursday 20^th June to Sunday 23^rd June 2019.

The Royal Highland Show is considered a great day out for families and individuals keen to experience the best Scotland has to offer. The RHET Discovery Centre is open from 9am to 5pm each day and is open to the public over all four days.

RHET organises a variety of hands-on activities for children and a selection of our partners and organisations provide sessions which can be found in both The RHET Discovery Centre and across the showground. These are currently being collated for 2019, however to see what was available last year, see the 2018 list here.

School groups can organise their trip to the show through RHET after Easter 2019. Many groups request the option to take a guided tour or participate in bookable sessions to discover more about food, farming and the countryside. If your school wishes to take part please see the school group booking section below. There are, however, many drop-in and sign-up sessions available to those not in school groups.

The RHET Discovery Centre relies on volunteers to help deliver some of the sessions as well as to lead tours for schools on the Thursday and Friday. If you are interested in helping, please see the link below.
