Ideal Home Show Scotland is set to return to the SEC Glasgow from Friday, May 22, to Monday, May 25 2026, bringing together experts, interiors, advisers and the latest trends and news in home, garden and lifestyle living.
The four-day event, sponsored by Tomorrow Energy, aims to evolve alongside the way people live today, providing access to brands, ideas and expertise that help homeowners make smarter decisions for their homes and lifestyles.
Ideal Home Show Scotland 2026 will include the debut of Money Village, created in partnership with Royal Bank of Scotland and MoneyMatiX.
