The Homebuilding & Renovating Show returns to the Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston, Edinburgh on 3 and 4 October 2026, giving anyone with a home project in the pipeline the chance to get expert advice, see the latest products and meet suppliers face to face.
The show covers everything from self-build and extensions to conversions, renovations, kitchens, bathrooms, heating, energy efficiency and planning permission, with free admission on both days.
Visitors can book free one-to-one appointments at the Advice Centre, where architects, structural engineers, planning specialists, finance professionals and eco advisors are on hand to give impartial guidance on any type of project.
There is also a programme of free seminars and masterclasses running across both days. Scottish architect Allan Corfield will share ideas for adding space without extending, including loft, garage and cellar conversions. Heating and eco expert David Hilton will look at how to make older homes warmer and cheaper to run, from heat pumps to the latest retrofit options. Landscape and garden designer MarieAnne Messenger will cover outdoor design while finance expert Tom McSherry will talk about how to approach funding and reclaim VAT on a self-build project.
130 exhibitors will be at the show covering kitchens, bathrooms, windows, doors, heating, structural systems, flooring, lighting and renewable energy.
The Edinburgh show is one of eight Homebuilding & Renovating Shows taking place across the UK each year. The show takes place at the Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston, Edinburgh. Opening hours: Saturday 3 October, 10am to 5pm; Sunday 4 October, 10am to 4.30pm.
