What’s New and Exciting for GWCT Members in 2026

There are some exciting changes for GWCT Members at The Scottish Game Fair in 2026. The GWCT Members’ Area has been enlarged from last year to provide more room and comfort for members to relax throughout the three days of the Fair.

There will also be hot food available exclusively for members, alongside a café serving tea, coffee, cakes, and biscuits, as well as a fully stocked bar.

The GWCT Members’ Enclosure and Highlander’s Restaurant

Formerly known as the Members’ Tent, the GWCT Members’ Enclosure and Highlander’s Restaurant will once again sit alongside the Main Ring, offering members some of the best views of the many activities taking place throughout the day.

Exclusive Access for Members and Guests

Half of the marquee will be available exclusively to GWCT Members and their guests across all three days of the Fair, providing a comfortable and welcoming space in which to relax and socialise.

Members will also have access to private toilets and a private garden area.

Food and Refreshments

This year, we are delighted to welcome a new catering partner serving food within the Members’ Enclosure and Highlander’s Restaurant. There are several dining options available for members this year:

  • A café serving tea, coffee, cakes, and biscuits throughout the day.
  • Bacon and sausage rolls available to purchase each morning.
  • A delicious venison hot pot, available exclusively to members. This hearty meal is perfect for those looking for a relaxed lunch, and no pre-booking is required.
  • Members are welcome to purchase food from vendors outside the Members’ Enclosure and bring it inside to enjoy within the enclosure or garden area.
  • Members can also book to dine in the Highlander’s Restaurant, with the option of a full Scottish breakfast, two-course buffet lunch, or two-course pie supper. The menu celebrates the rich flavours and traditions of Scotland, focusing on hearty and satisfying dishes made using seasonal produce. Dining in the Highlander’s Restaurant must be booked in advance via this link.

The Members’ Enclosure will also feature a bar serving beer, wine, and a selection of spirits.
