And We’re Open! Ideal Home Show Scotland Kicks Off in Style

The wait is over - Ideal Home Show Scotland 2025 is officially open, and what an unforgettable start it’s been!

This morning, the doors swung open to a wave of excited visitors, all eager to dive into four spectacular days celebrating the very best in home, garden, food, and lifestyle inspiration. With a line-up that dazzles from the moment you step through the entrance, this is more than a show — it’s a full-on festival of creativity, craftsmanship, and community spirit.

Opening Day Energy

In true Ideal Home Show Scotland style, we kicked off with flair, tradition, and just a little bit of bagpipe magic. The unmistakable sounds of a marching band and pipes filled the air, creating a rousing Scottish welcome that set the tone for the days to come.

Adding a touch of sparkle to the proceedings, we were joined by special guests Laura Boyd and Sean Batty from the STV Children's Appeal, who helped us open the show with warmth and generosity. We also welcomed some of our favourite familiar faces from television: celebrity chef Jimmy Lee, property expert Laura Hamilton, and ceramics maestro Keith Brymer Jones, all of whom will be appearing throughout the show.

A Four-Day Feast for the Senses

Whether you're a design aficionado, a DIY dreamer, or a foodie on the hunt for your next obsession, there’s something for everyone here. From bustling show sections packed with must-see brands and emerging artisans, to interactive workshops, delicious tastings, and expert-led demos, every corner of the Ideal Home Show Scotland has something to inspire.

The Dream Home feature is already turning heads, complete with aspirational roomsets that bring interior visions to life. Whether you’re revamping a studio flat or planning your forever home, the ideas here are bound to spark your imagination.

And this is just the beginning.

What’s Still to Come

Over the next three days, we’ll be welcoming more top names from the world of homes and interiors, including MT O’Donnell, who’ll be showing us how to elevate our garden game with her hanging basket masterclass, and judges from Scotland’s Home of the Year, Banjo Beal, Anna Campbell Jones and Danny Campbell.

There’s also live cooking, garden makeovers, exclusive shopping opportunities, and yes - plenty of Prosecco, gin and whiskey.

Be Part of It

Ideal Home Show Scotland isn’t just an event - it’s an experience. A chance to get hands-on, get inspired, and celebrate the places we call home. Whether you're here for design advice, delicious food, expert tips or just a great day out, we’re thrilled to welcome you.

Doors are open. The celebration has begun. Come be part of it.
