Countdown begins for the return of Ayr County Show
The gates at Ayr Racecourse will be opening at 9am on Saturday, May 10 for the hugely popular event and once again a large crowd is expected.
The showpiece event in the Ayrshire agricultural calender gets under way next week with the return of the Ayr County Show 2025.
The gates at Ayr Racecourse will be opening at 9am on Saturday, May 10 for the hugely popular event and once again a large crowd is expected.
This year is the 180th running of the Show, which is now in its 189th year.
With its winning formula of celebrating the traditional and embracing the future, the Ayr County Show has earned its place as a 'must do' event on the calendars of both the farming community and families looking for a fun-packed, good value day out.
The event, sponsored by Lockharts Law, includes exhibition and competition of many types of animals, trade stands, foods, crafts, vintage tractor display, SWI competitions, Young Farmers competitions, Tug of War, family entertainment, music, children's marquee and the 'TT Ayr' (Trucks & Tractor) Show.
A spokesperson for the organisers said: 'Food and drink is very much part of the event creating the very important link between 'Field to Fork'.
'The Ayrshire Agricultural Association are committed to keeping this event going forward with a good range of attractions throughout the show field whilst not losing the true agricultural roots of Avr County Show. After two very difficult years for everyone we look forward to welcoming you all back.'
Children aged 15 and under will be admitted free of charge when accompanied by a paying adult.
Onsite Car Parking will be available within the Show Ground marked 'Craigie Road Gate A.' A parking fee of £5 per car will apply.
This event runs from 9am to 5pm.
