Scotland's biggest contemporary furniture show is back at Dalkeith Palace this weekend. Thirty of the country's leading designer-makers are bringing the latest work out of their workshops: furniture, sculpture and woodwork, all of it laid out in the rooms of the palace itself.
Every piece is for sale, so if you've ever fancied owning something well made rather than flat-packed, this is the place. It runs Friday 5th to Sunday 7th June, 10am to 4pm, and there's no booking, just turn up.
Mimi's Bakehouse is doing a pop-up café inside the palace for the duration, so you can have a cake and a cup of tea while you mull over a chair you can't quite justify. The palace is part of Dalkeith Country Park on the edge of Edinburgh, run by Buccleuch, so you could easily make a day of it with the park and trails too.
