What's Happening in Ayr, Scotland…

Over 30 independent shops and businesses in Ayr have united to co-ordinate a Massive Sale Event from 17^th -23^rd June to encourage more people to shop locally in the town centre.  They will be offering their customers and visitors to the town a whole range of offers.

One of the Instigators of the Idea, Christopher Woodland of Bella Home & Gifts said:

We are lucky to have many of the major retail names present on our high street but it is the small independent businesses that give Ayr's shopping district its character. It is the diversity and uniqueness of these businesses which makes the area worth a visit and more importantly worth the pride and passion of its inhabitants.

So, spend a day in Ayr and enjoy the wide choice of independent, boutique & specialist shops!  If you get hungry or thirsty, then call into one of the independent cafes or restaurants for a brief break before you get back to your bargain hunting in the Sales!
