Bahrain International Garden Show 2027 (BIGS)

The Bahrain International Garden Show 2027 (BIGS) takes place at Exhibition World Bahrain in Sakhir, with an opening day on 24 March 2027 followed by show days from 25 to 28 March 2027. Held under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, it is a gardening and agriculture exhibition for families, garden lovers, farmers and agribusiness professionals from Bahrain and the wider Gulf.

About the Bahrain International Garden Show

The organiser describes BIGS as a leading gardening and agricultural show in the Arabian Gulf and a meeting place for international exporters and investors in gardening, agriculture and related industries. The show is linked to Bahrain's National Initiative for Agricultural Development (NIAD).

The exhibition is split into two zones. The Awareness Zone presents public-sector and educational institutions and focuses on good agricultural practice, technology and sustainability. The Marketing Zone is for companies showing products and services to local and regional visitors, and the organiser says direct sales are allowed there. B2B meetings are also part of the programme.

The organiser says its last show had 180 exhibitors from 25 countries and 49,000 visitors. More details are on the official BIGS website.

Bahrain International Garden Show 2027 dates and venue

Bahrain International Garden Show 2027 dates: opening day on Wednesday 24 March 2027, with show days from Thursday 25 to Sunday 28 March 2027. The venue is Exhibition World Bahrain in Sakhir, the kingdom's large exhibition centre in the south of the main island.

How to get to Sakhir for the Bahrain International Garden Show

Bahrain International Airport (BAH) on Muharraq Island is the country's main gateway. From the airport, Exhibition World Bahrain is reached by road across the main island, and taxis, ride-hailing apps and private transfers are the most practical options.

Many visitors from Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province travel by car over the King Fahd Causeway. Check the official entry requirements for Bahrain before you travel.

When planning a trip to Bahrain for the Bahrain International Garden Show, confirm the dates again on the official website shortly before booking non-refundable services.

Where to stay

Manama, Seef and Juffair offer the widest choice of hotels, restaurants and shopping, with a drive south to Sakhir for show days. Visitors who prefer to stay closer to the venue can look at the Sakhir, Awali and Zallaq areas on the south-west of the island.

Spring is a popular season in Bahrain, so book accommodation early, especially for the weekend show days. Groups should ask hotels about rooming lists and coach parking.

Planning a group trip to the Bahrain International Garden Show

A group tour to the Bahrain International Garden Show suits garden clubs, schools, farmers' associations, landscaping firms and agribusiness delegations. Agencies can combine show visits with a Bahrain city programme including Bab Al Bahrain, Manama Souq and Qal'at al-Bahrain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

• For trade visitors: contact the organiser early about B2B meetings and exhibitor contacts.
• For families and school groups: plan visits on quieter days and allow time for the Awareness Zone.
• Transport: book a coach for the group, as Sakhir is outside central Manama.

Agencies building a group trip to the Bahrain International Garden Show should confirm flights first, as seats on popular Gulf routes can fill up around events. Collect passport details early and share a clear itinerary with travellers before departure.
