Early bird tickets available as landmark exhibition featuring world-famous artefacts opens at the Royal Highland Centre this November
Tickets are on sale now for the Edinburgh debut of the UK’s biggest travelling Titanic exhibition, with Titanic Exhibition opening at the Royal Highland Centre on 28 November 2026 for a limited run until 14 February 2027.
White Star Heritage has announced that Titanic Exhibition will make its Edinburgh debut this winter, opening at the Royal Highland Centre on 28 November 2026 and running until 14 February 2027.
Following hugely successful exhibitions in Aberdeen and Glasgow, which recorded some of the strongest opening-week ticket sales anywhere in the UK, the exhibition will arrive in the capital for the first time for its biggest Scottish run to date, featuring new displays and at least eight artefacts never before displayed in Scotland, giving returning visitors fresh reasons to experience the exhibition.
Visitors will experience one of the country’s most significant collections of Titanic artefacts, assembled over years by White Star Heritage.
Highlights include an original deckchair from R.M.S. Titanic – one of only a handful to survive, alongside a fragment of the aft Grand Staircase recovered from the surface of the sea shortly after the disaster, a genuine Titanic lifeboat plaque, and four fragments of metal, glass and ceramic brought up entirely by accident from a Second Class cabin during a scientific expedition.
Also on display will be the expedition jumpsuit of the late Paul-Henri Nargeolet, the celebrated French Navy commander who completed more than 35 dives to the wreck before losing his life in the Titan submersible implosion of June 2023.
The immersive exhibition traces Titanic’s complete story – from its construction at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, through its ill-fated maiden voyage, to its rediscovery on the ocean floor – told through authentic artefacts, powerful personal accounts and vivid set pieces. At the start of their visit, every visitor receives a boarding pass for a real passenger or crew member who sailed on Titanic, and discovers their fate at the end.
Tom Rudderham, Director of White Star Heritage, said: “Scotland has always given this exhibition a wonderful welcome, and bringing it to Edinburgh for the very first time is something we have wanted to do for a long while.
“We cannot wait to welcome visitors aboard this winter.”
Mark Currie, Managing Director of the Royal Highland Centre, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Titanic Exhibition to the Royal Highland Centre for its Edinburgh debut.
“This is exactly the type of large-scale, immersive experience our venue is designed to host. With the space to showcase internationally significant collections and welcome thousands of visitors, the Royal Highland Centre provides the perfect setting for an exhibition of this scale and ambition all year round. We look forward to welcoming visitors from across Scotland throughout the winter.”
Originally set up as an enthusiast’s passion project, Titanic Exhibition has grown into the UK’s biggest travelling Titanic exhibition. Led by Titanic historian, collector and exhibition designer Tom Rudderham, alongside event manager Joe Levy, whose background in archaeology and social history has helped shape the visitor experience, the exhibition combines rare artefacts with compelling storytelling to bring one of history’s most famous voyages to life.
