Gaiety Theatre & Cafe

The Ayr Gaiety Theatre is a historically significant Category B listed building and much-loved local theatre which had been closed in 2009 and lay empty and in disrepair until its two-phase refurbishment.

The newly designed and converted theatre has flourished since its re-opening and has once again become a successful cultural venue within the Ayrshire Region playing host to an annual pantomime as well as seeing many famous faces playing both the theatre and studio venues housed within the facility.

The newly converted Café Bar has had rave reviews by local bloggers and critics alike and is regularly sold out on show nights.

The first phase of this project was completed on behalf of South Ayrshire Council allowing them to sell on the property to the newly formed Ayr Gaiety Partnership. They now successfully run this historic venue and deliver multiple theatre and studio performances throughout the year with a complimentary theatre bar and café for additional income.

Phase 2 consisted of the addition of a black box contemporary studio space and general refurbishment of the main theatre and changing facilities.
