✨ Oh Yes You Can Make A Difference!✨

Christmas at the theatre is always a magical time of year for children and young people. It truly can be life-changing. 💖

Sadly, many parents locally won't be able to give their children the chance to enjoy panto this year. Many families are struggling, so some of the children most in need of some festive cheer run the risk of missing out. If you can help, you can play your part in spreading some festive joy this year..🎄

⭐ £10 stops one child from missing out on the magic
⭐ £25 will pay for two of the best seats in the house
⭐ £100 will pay for a whole family to attend - creating lifelong memories together
⭐ £300 will sponsor a whole class of schoolchildren to experience theatre - many for the first time.

Sponsor one or more children to attend Dick Whittington, and give the gift of panto magic this Christmas! 🎁

And if you haven't got your tickets yet - don't miss out on your chance to bag your plunder! Get your Dick Whittington tickets today! ⚓

1, 2, 3 action ! 🚀🎬

After a year of Ayr Gaiety Theatre’s Young Start Ayr North project, we’re super excited to launch our first of 3 creative drama resources for children and their teachers. This resource was made in collaboration with the children from Braehead Primary School Drama club. Full of games and workshops, as well as videos, photos and illustrations, this resource provides hours of creative ideas for children and their teachers to explore 🎭

🌟Teachers - this resource is available on our website and free to use! Find the link in our bio🌟

This creative drama resource was created by Florence Logan from Ayr Gaiety Theatre’s Creative Engagement team and the Braehead Primary School Drama club, designed by Cat Major, and co-ordinated by The Gaiety’s Marketing & Communications department.

This project was part of the Gaiety’s Young Start Ayr North project, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund.
