Entertainment
From the vibrant main stage performances to the eclectic street performers dotted around the town, Mauchline Holy Fair has become a beacon for live entertainment and community spirit. Over recent years, we’ve brought you:
Folk-rock ensembles setting toes tapping to ceilidh-style rhythms.
Up-and-coming acoustic artists delivering heartfelt sets under the open sky.
High-energy dance troupes that had the crowd cheering and the Pittars Hill path buzzing.
Family-friendly shows and pop-up acts that brought surprise moments around every corner.
These acts, drawn from right across Ayrshire and beyond, have helped turn the Fair into an experience where laughter, dancing and shared memories flourish.
