Events & Exhibitions
A wide range of events take place at the Parliament, including MSP-sponsored occasions, constituency functions and State visits. These events have a key link to the business and priorities of the Parliament. There are also regular exhibitions in the main hall, such as the 2008 Higher Art and Design Exhibition.

Festival of Politics
The Festival of Politics has established itself as a firm favourite, attracting nearly 3,000 people to the Parliament each year for four days of debate and deliberation. Last year's speakers included political heavyweights Douglas Hurd and Denis Healey, journalist and broadcaster Peter Oborne, and comedian Mark Thomas.
