Ayr Central is a popular shopping spot for the people of South Ayrshire who want to keep it local, support the high street and avoid driving into the city.
Boasting all the favourite retailers including Primark, JD Sports, New Look, River Island and Next along with independent stores from Cherry Soda and Unique, Ayr Central is a fantastic place for all your Christmas shopping needs.
Not only has the shopping centre extended its opening hours in the run-up to Christmas, but it has also announced a host of family-focused events in the lead-up to the big day. Customers are encouraged to visit ayrcentral.com for all the details.
Christmas light up fun day
On Sunday, November 19th, from 12 - 4 pm, Ayr Central will host a range of festive activities as part of South Ayrshire Light Up Ayr.
There will be live music and a roster of FREE family fun across the Centre and Ayr's town centre. Join walk-a-bout Santa and the Grinch as they wander around Ayr Central giving out special festive treats. They'll be joined by face painters, glitter tattooists and balloon modellers.
Young ones can head to the Centre's Christmas Crafty Corner where they'll find lots of free family fun, making and taking their Xmas cards, hats and festive wreaths.
Learn to Elf at Ayr Central’s Elf School
Then, on Saturday, November 25 and Saturday, December 2, 9 and 16, between 12 and 4pm, younger visitors can attend the Ayr Central Elf School.
Billed as 'come as yourself leave as an elf' children will be transformed into elves, with rosy cheeks and their very own Elf hat before learning essential Christmas crafts and receiving the Elf Certificate. These sessions are free and run on a first-come-first-served basis.
