Scottish Smallholder Festival 2025

18 October 2025. 9am - 4pm

3D2D Events are delighted to return to the Art & Craft Market at the Scottish Smallholder Festival, Ingliston, on 18 October 2025, from 9am to 4pm.

Now in its 14th Year and having outgrown their previous location, the Smallholder Festival was at Ingliston for the second time last year. They focus on the small-scale farming community and those interested in rural life.

We will be based inside the Highland Hall, in a similar area to last year.

In addition to the livestock and smallholding areas the 2025 event will have three distinct zones: the “Smallholders Market” featuring smallholding produce - dairy, preserves, baked goods etc, The Craft Market which will be called “3D2D Art & Craft Market” - showcasing artisan producers and crafters, and lastly the “Skills Hub” - an area for knowledge transfer.

The Smallholder Festival is not a huge event, but is attended by people who are really interested and invested in locally and sustainably produced items, and who can really appreciate the effort it takes to make an item. The Smallholder Festival are aiming for an attendance of 4000 people this year as the Festival continues growing.

Stalls & Set up

The RHASS have increased rent considerably this year, which is unfortunately reflected in the price, 3D2D will be offering spaces with 6ft tables (supplied) at a rate of £80 each and this will include a car pass and 2 exhibitor passes per table.

Due to restrictions at Ingliston, no electricity can be provided, so bring battery powered lights if needed.

You may set up on the Friday afternoon from 2 - 5pm. You can also access from 7am - 8am on the Saturday, but your stall must be ready for the public at 9am. Your vehicle must also be removed from the front of the building and driven to the exhibitor parking zone by 8am. You will be able to collect your entrance passes at the gate and bring stock to setup during the above times. Break down on Saturday evening only. There will be a security guard from G4S on site on Friday evening.
