Events in Ayr From 6th April – 12th April 2026

Home · Events in Ayr This Week

You can find a range of activities across Ayr this week that reflect local traditions and community engagement. At Pets at Home Ayr, children take part in Easter-themed workshops focused on responsible pet care; sessions run daily through Saturday and include hands-on learning with small animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs. For outdoor enthusiasts, Ardrossan Scout Group hosts a weekly drum circle every Sunday afternoon at the village hall grounds, where participants of all ages gather to explore rhythm and group coordination using hand drums made from recycled materials.

Live performances continue in evenings across South Ayrshire venues: The Metro Reloaded on King Street holds its regular DJ night featuring local electronic music acts each Thursday; First Edition Kilmarnock presents a comedy evening with up-and-coming performers every Saturday. Both events begin at 7pm and end around midnight, serving alcohol only to those aged over eighteen.

Ayr United play two Scottish Championship fixtures this week, on Tuesday and again on Saturday, at Somerset Park. Gates open from 3:00 PM; match kick-off is at 5:45 pm each day. These matches attract supporters of varying ages and backgrounds, many travelling by train or bus due to limited parking.

Other offerings include antenatal education sessions held weekly in the Ayr Health Centre’s multipurpose hall on Thursday evenings from 6:00–8:30 PM; clay decoration workshops for children under ten are run at Eglinton Country Park every Sunday morning, led by local craftspeople. On footpaths and green spaces such as those near Culroy or within Glenbuck Wood, Ramblers Scotland deliver a leadership training course focused on navigation using maps and compasses, registration open until 24 April.
