Come nice and early to catch the Forest Creatures shows and then experience a Fresh Ayr Takeover in the evening. (space limited per show)

Forest Creatures Puppet Show - 1pm, 1.45pm, 2.30pm, 4pm, 4.45pm
Follow the adventures of Owl, Badger, Squirrel, Pine Marten and friends who all live in the forest of Ghillie Dhu. They love it there and they especially love Gerry, the Forest Ranger, who has a hard time looking after them and managing the forest. Gerry wants to win the tidiest forest in Scotland competition but there is a lot of waste to clear up. Meanwhile an owl in the nearby forest has gone missing! Featuring music and songs, visit the friends in their forest home. A perfect show for 4-8 year olds.
