Helpful Information for Families
The Royal Highland Show is a great family day out, with children aged 15 and under admitted free of charge when accompanied by a paying adult. Once inside, you can experience the Show without spending another penny as all demonstrations, exhibitions and entertainment are free to enjoy. Each area within the Showground has a number of attractions including, live music, the Cookery Theatre, Grand Parade and much more. Children can also get close to creatures in the Poultry and Honey Marquees (located in the Countryside Area), where they can learn the bee dance and make candles. Many children love tractors, so it's worth visiting the machinery trade stands and Agri Demo Arena, however please don't allow children to climb on the displays - it is not safe for them to do so.
Should you wish, you can collect a free wristband at the main gates from the Rotary Club. This can be used for writing a parent or guardian's phone number, which helps ensure that you are quickly reunited with your child should they become separated.
