A COMMUNITY fun day will be held this weekend to celebrate the official opening of Ardrossan's new Hub on the Prom.

The family friendly event promises a host of activities to suit all ages.

The Ardrossan Trust, in partnership with NAC Connected Communities, Smiths Family Attractions and the renowned Blackhouse Sauna, has worked hard to make the day unforgettable.

Best of all, the fun doesn’t come with a price tag - there will be free rides for everyone between 1pm and 5pm on Saturday, October 12.

So, whether you’re young or young at heart, don’t miss the chance to hop on and enjoy the rides for free.

There’s plenty more to keep everyone entertained on the promenade. Challenge your friends and family with soft archery, get creative with badge making, or let the kids dive into the joy of face painting.

The event is truly a community affair, and the Community Bus will be present on-site to provide additional support and information for those interested in learning more about the services available in Ardrossan.

This event marks the launch of the all-new Beach House Café and Community Kiosk.

Here, visitors can enjoy a variety of amenities, including free deckchair hire and access to disability-friendly wheelers ensuring everyone can fully experience the beautiful beachfront.

A spokesperson for the Ardrossan Trust said: "This fun day is not just about rides and activities—it’s about celebrating Ardrossan’s largest community-led investment in a generation.

"The Hub On The Prom is a landmark development aimed at creating a welcoming, inclusive space for residents and visitors alike.

"It represents a major step forward in enhancing the town’s coastal offering and community spirit, making Ardrossan an even better place to live and visit.

"Make sure you drop by, enjoy some refreshments from the Beach House Café, explore all the fun activities on offer, and take part in this momentous occasion.
