About The Low Green

The Low Green in Ayr sits along the town’s seafront, home to the historic Ayr Pavilion building. With a storied past hosting major acts and big‑tent festival setups, the site now operates as Pirate Pete’s Family Entertainment Centre, while still carrying its legacy as a venue with a classic auditorium and open‑air events. Whether you’re catching a show in the pavilion or enjoying outdoor performances on The Low Green, we’ve got you covered with seating insights, parking options, and practical tips for getting there and staying nearby.

Located at The Low Green, Ayr, KA7 1EQ, the venue blends historic architecture with family-friendly entertainment, and it remains a recognizable stop in Scotland’s west coast event scene. If you’re planning a visit, secure your seats early for indoor performances and consider nearby hotels for a comfortable stay after a day by the sea.

Historical notes: Ayr Pavilion historically offered around 600 seats, and large outdoor events on The Low Green have featured multipurpose stages and tents, including festival configurations with substantial capacity. In the 1990s the pavilion was renamed Hangar 13, later returning to its identity connected with Ayr Pavilion activities and, in recent years, with Pirate Pete’s Family Entertainment Centre. For 2026, revival announcements suggest renewed music‑oriented events at Ayr Pavilion, with The Low Green as a scenic backdrop.

Seating and venue type: The indoor auditorium is a compact, intimate space historically suited to a few hundred guests, while outdoor events expand capacity dramatically with tented stages. If you’re attending a show with a seated arrangement, we’ll help you identify great seats and the section you want options where available.
