Not long until our Summer Show - 9th August in Rosemarkie!

It’s been a bit of an unusual growing season this year, but we still expect our Show to produce a magnificent display of flowers, produce, food, crafts and photographs. And of course there’ll be the Tub of Tatties competition, and Teas served under the gazebos on the lawn.

This year’s Show will be held on Saturday 9th August, as usual at the Gordon Memorial Hall, Rosemarkie. You can download the Show Schedule, which lists all the classes in the Show and explains how it works. It's available in Word and pdf formats, and if you have any questions please get in touch. 

 Help us publicise the Show

Please tell your gardening, baking, crafting and photographer friends and family about the Show, and if you have somewhere you can display our Show Poster, like a local shop, community noticeboard, or playscheme, we’d be very grateful if you could download and print it - it's available as an A4 in pdf and jpg formats, and as 2 A5s for small noticeboards.

Entering the Photography classes - print or digital

Photographs can be entered as prints (not mounted, maximum size 178 x127mm (7”x5”), 20p per entry) – bring them along to the Hall between 6:30pm and 8:00pm on Friday 8th August or between 8:30am and 10:30am on Saturday 9th August.

About us

The Black Isle Horticultural Society is a community group that holds a friendly local Summer Show, with exhibitors mainly from the Black Isle.  There are classes for Cut Flowers, Pot Plants, Fruit, Vegetables, Baking, Preserves, Crafts, and Photographs. We've also got a section for under 14s, a Novice section for people who haven't entered or won before, and we have a new class for Botanical Illustration. We particularly welcome new visitors and exhibitors. You can find out more about the Show here.

We also run a very popular spring Plant Sale, with a wide range of interesting plants, including some unusual ones. You can find more details here.

The BIHS is run by a small committee of volunteers, who meet to organise our events. If you want to find out more about the Society, to help with our events, or have any questions, please get in touch using our Feedback page.
