Council pulls out all the stops for this year's Communities Fun Day

South Ayrshire Council's Communities Fun Day is back on Saturday 17 May.

This hugely popular and award-winning event runs from 11am-4pm at both Ayr Academy and the nearby Riverside Sports Arena.

Organised and by our Housing Service and Thriving Communities teams, this free event is not to be missed.

With the event just a few weeks away it's all go! The 2025 Communities Fun Day promises to be the best yet and there really is something for everyone.

The fun zone is always a hit, and with train rides, a climbing wall, funfair, and a zip line, it's plain to see why! Take on the ultimate challenge at the Nerf Battle Arena or check out the latest military and emergency services vehicles.

There will also be live acts performing on stage throughout the day.

Remember to visit the Info Zone to find out more about Council services, chat to community groups and get access to all kinds of support.

Councillor Martin Kilbride, Portfolio Holder for Housing, Buildings and Environment for South Ayrshire Council's said: "The Communities Fun Day is always a great day out. No matter the weather, there's plenty to see and do and the range of activities available is impressive. Remember to get your free ticket in advance before they run out!"
