Things to do in Ayr

Ayr Comic Con: Ayrshire's Ultimate Free Family Day Out   Get ready, South Ayrshire—the legendary Ayr Comic Con is making its grand return to the coast! On Saturday 11th July 2026, we are completely taking over Ayr Town Hall for a massive celebration of pop culture, comic books, and gaming. Whether you are a die-hard collector hunting for rare merchandise, a parent looking for an affordable day out with the kids, or a fan wanting to meet iconic heroes, this year's show brings the full experience under one spectacular roof. Everything Under One Roof at Ayr Town Hall   By consolidating the entire festival into the historic Ayr Town Hall, we are turning the venue into a single, massive geek paradise. Best of all, general admission is completely free for everyone all day long! You can explore the different levels of the hall at your own pace without worrying about the unpredictable Scottish summer weather ruining the fun. What’s Waiting For You at Ayr Comic Con   The Ultimate Geek Market: Browse dozens of specialist traders filling the hall with comic books, action figures, Pokémon cards, mystery boxes, and custom merch. Free-to-Play Arcade & Gaming Zone: No coins or tokens required! Your free entry includes unlimited play on our retro arcade machines and modern consoles running all day long. Character Meet & Greets: Keep your cameras ready. We have an awesome lineup of iconic superheroes and beloved characters roaming the floor for free photos with the family. Cosplay Welcome: Naturally, we want to see your incredible creativity. Suit up in your best outfits and join the local Scottish cosplay community right inside the hall. Make a Day of It at Ayr Comic Con   Since Ayr Town Hall dominates the town centre skyline, its central location makes it dead easy to turn your visit into a full summer day out. Refuel: Once you have explored the stalls, step right outside onto the High Street to check out a brilliant selection of local Ayrshire cafes, restaurants, and traditional pubs for lunch. Explore: Take a short dander down toward the beachfront or the river after you have grabbed your loot. The beautiful seaside backdrops are absolute perfection for showing off your cosplay gear! Travel: Getting here is an absolute doddle. Ayr Town Hall sits just a short walk away from the main Ayr train station and major local bus routes. There is also plenty of public parking available throughout the town centre if you are driving in from across Ayrshire or Glasgow. All in all, are you ready for the return of Ayr Comic Con? Gather your squad, plan your route, support our independent traders, and we will see you at Ayr Town Hall this July!
