AYRFLOWERSHOW

The Ayr Flower Show takes place on the first weekend in August. Set in the 31 acres of Rozelle Park close to Burns' Birthplace in Alloway, the three-day Ayr Flower Show is a family festival in which gardening enthusiasts have an opportunity to admire and purchase plants and related gardening items and enjoy some good food from across the UK. The Ayr Flower Show began in 1960 and has taken place each year from that date. Today, the show welcomes around 30,000 visitors from across the UK over the three days, with a significant number of visitors recently arriving from Northern Ireland. The entire event brings in more than £1 million into the local economy.
