The Royal Highland Show is considered a great day out for families and individuals keen to experience the best Scotland has to offer.

The Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET) welcomes school groups on Thursday 22nd June and Friday 23rd June 2023. 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 along with a selection of our partners and organisations to provide sessions which can be found in both the Centre and across the showground. These activities are still being finalised but will be posted on our website soon. 

If your school wishes to take part, please see the school group booking section below.

If you are interested in bringing a school group, here is some information you may find useful:
