South Ayrshire Council is offering people the opportunity to be part of this year’s new air show by becoming an unpaid festival volunteer.

Plans are well under way for September’s International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight and the local authority is now recruiting volunteers to carry out a variety of roles during the three-day event.

The council say that it is an "exciting opportunity" to join them in delivering an action-packed festival that will bring a big boost to the area in many ways.

 

The International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight will take place at Ayr shore front from Friday 8 – Sunday, September 10.

Councillor Alec Clark, South Ayrshire Council’s Portfolio Holder for Tourism, Culture and Rural Affairs, said: “Volunteers play a key role in many events, and The International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight is no different.
