A landmark returns — evolving into a multi-purpose event space
Hosting a wide range of cross-genre music and cultural events
A historic venue evolving into a multi-purpose event space, offering far more than just dance music.
Our venue is transforming to host a wide and exciting range of cross-genre music and cultural events. All events will be well organised, professionally run, and focused on safety and success for everyone involved.
The Ayr Pavilion has long been a cornerstone of Ayr's cultural landscape. As this landmark returns, we're reimagining it as Scotland's premier multi-purpose event space, celebrating diverse music genres and cultural experiences.
Thank you once again to all Pirate Pete's customers over the past 20 years. We are incredibly grateful for your support and hope to welcome you to one of our many upcoming music and cultural events.
