Scotland's National Gardening Show with exhibitors, expert talks, practical demonstrations, children's activities, the Scottish Garden Design Competition and the Perth Farmers' Market.
Scone Palace Garden Fair returns to the grounds of Scone Palace in Perth from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 May 2027, running 10am to 5pm each day. It's the fair's sixth year, and it's billed as Scotland's National Gardening Show, with more exhibitors than before and a full programme of expert talks across all three days. There are practical demonstrations, new children's activities, and the return of the Perth Farmers' Market and live music.
At the heart of the show is the Scottish Garden Design Competition, which announces the 2026 winning Showcase garden and invites visitors to vote for the 2027 People's Choice Award. The fair spreads across the palace grounds, including the Victorian Pinetum, the Kitchen Garden and the Murray Star Maze, with the Walled Garden hosting 'how-to' demonstrations and the Scottish Gardener's Forum's Pallet and Planter Challenge. Access to the palace gardens and grounds is included in your ticket, and there's an upgrade available if you want to go inside the Palace itself. Charity partners this year are Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance and The Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society.
