Scheduled for Friday, May 30th, and Saturday, May 31st, 2025, Scone Palace Garden Fair will take place at the historic Scone Palace, known as the Crowning Place of the Scottish Kings. A highlight of next year’s Fair is the focus on inspiring the gardeners of the future. The event wants to encourage children to be part of the gardening community while spending time outside and reconnecting with nature. In an exciting move, children under 16 will enjoy free entry, making it an ideal family outing.
And as if that wasn't enough, early bird adult ticket purchasers will receive a 20% discount, with a limited release of these tickets now available for sale. For more information and to book tickets, please visit scone-palace.co.uk.
