The Walker Hall Stage

Tartan Tapas Sunset Café
We've got our own wee pop up restaurant for pre or post gig dining. A great wee Scottish Tapas menu is on offer in the upstairs area overlooking the beach and Arran and Ailsa Craig and with a bit of luck the stunning west coast sunset! Advance Bookings are essential and now being taken - we suggest allowing an hour for your table. A non refundable deposit will be taken at time of booking per person to avoid cancellations.
The Buskers' Bus Stop
To complement the free shuttle bus that is running from the golf course all week to the town centre, we have put on another first| Welcome to the free Buskers' Bus Stop featuring local talent playing right outside the front door of the venue. The line up is subject to change but will feature a range of artistes from early afternoon and no doubt a few bagpipes too!
