Showcase Scotland @ Celtic Connections 2026, Trade Fair – Sunday 25th January

Taking place as part of the wider Celtic Connections festival, and with 150 delegates present from 20+ nations, Showcase Scotland introduces new audiences to Scotland-based artists on a global scale. 

Our Trade Fair takes place on Sunday 25th January 2026 between 9.30am and 2.30pm in the upper foyers of Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

All our delegates attend the Trade Fair, so this a key opportunity to meet them and promote your music, business or organisation. 

Festivals attending include Cambridge Folk Festival, Wickham Festival, Broadstairs Folk Week, HebCelt, Festival Interceltique de Lorient and Kaustinen Folk Music Festival, as well as agents and venues from across the globe.

Bookings are now open for trade stands, spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Up to 3 self-representing musicians/bands/artists can share a trade stand in order to split the cost.

The cost of a trade stand is £175 + VAT. If you would to book one please click below.
