The Scottish Furniture Makers Exhibition is back for the first time since 2019

 words Mairi Mulhern 

This year’s exhibits will include hand-made Scottish furniture, sculptures and woodworks. The Scottish Furniture Makers Exhibition floor is sure to impress, with a wide range of styles, from traditional to contemporary.

The works on display will showcase the different materials and techniques being used in workshops across the country. A selection of exhibitors will be on hand each day to discuss their work.

Mike Whittall Scottish Furniture Makers Association president says, “We’re pleased to return to an in-person show for the first time since the pandemic, taking our members’ work to a wider audience.

“Dalkeith Palace provides a spectacular setting to display the beauty and diversity of the furniture being produced in Scotland.”

Mike continues, “Visitors might have questions about the design process or how a piece develops from tree, to timber, to finished product – and we welcome the chance to share our experiences.”

We are especially excited to see the following four exhibitors at Dalkeith Palace.
