Q. Is my ticket valid for any day?
A. Tickets bought in advance can be used on any single day. i.e. any one of the four days (Thursday to Sunday).

Q. Can I hire a wheelchair or scooter?
A. The entire showground is wheelchair friendly with wheelchairs available for show visitors from the East Gate adjacent to the Disabled Car Park - please phone British Red Cross to book 01506 650 754 or Lothian Shopmobility for a wider range including electric buggies phone 0131 557 4123

Q. Is there disabled parking etc?
A. Please ensure that your Blue Badge is displayed clearly on the windscreen of your vehicle on approaches to the showground, so that Police direct you appropriately. All parking costs £5 per day. Disabled car parking is on hard standing and closer to main gates than public parking. However, once these spaces have been taken we cannot guarantee that other spaces used for overspill disabled parking, will offer such advantages.
