The 176th Royal Highland Show, one of Scotland’s most iconic events, is set to take place at the Royal Highland Centre, Edinburgh from 23-26 June 2016. Firmly established as one of Europe’s most impressive celebrations of farming, food and rural life, the Royal Highland Show, which last year attracted almost 190,000visitors, showcases top quality livestock, food and drink and rural living at its most vibrant. The Royal Bank of Scotland, partner since 1981, continues to support the Show and the agricultural industry in Scotland.
Visitors will be treated to live cooking experiences from top chefs and given the opportunity to take home some of the hundreds of products on sale, from the finest local meat and sustainable Scottish fish to artisan preserves and botanical gins.
More than 30,000 children are expected to visit the Show this year. The Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET) will provide free interactive activities for school groups and the public at the RHET Education Centre.
The Show is not only economically important, but also plays a key role as a forum to highlight and discuss some of the crucial issues in politics today. The first day of the 2016 Show falls on the same day as the European Referendum vote. Top political figures will be attending the event to discuss how the outcome will affect agriculture, food and drink and business.
