The Pavilion.


The Ayr Pavilion was opened in 1911 and cost £8,000 to build. It had a capacity of 1500 seated and 1000 standing. Ben Popplewell aquired the lease in 1913 and retained it till 1967 with only a short break from 1918-1922. The pavilion has had many uses through the years from dances to consert and everything in between. It is now a childrens play area called Pirate Petes.
