Glasgow Botanic Gardens Orchid Fair

The 2026 Glasgow Botanic Gardens Orchid Fair is scheduled to be held in the historic Kibble Palace on Saturday, May 10th and Sunday, May 11th, 2026. Now celebrating its 27th anniversary, it remains Scotland’s sole event dedicated exclusively to orchids, providing a unique opportunity to view or buy orchids from UK nurseries. Monty Don called the Kibble Palace “the best glasshouse experience anywhere in the world” (January 2025). Admission is free, and members of the Scottish Orchid Society will be present to offer advice and answer any questions about orchid care.
