One festival experience, hold the tent and mud

Ayr Town Hall will be a kaleidoscope of colour and music as an outdoor festival is recreated at indoors next month.

The Eden Festival will bring its much loved club night to the Town Hall on Saturday, April 13.

There will be bands, DJs, cabaret, and arts and culture acts – as well as that something special that Eden always brings.

Scotland’s most popular ska band Bombskare will headline on the night. But not to be outshone, Colonel Mustard and the Dijon Five promise the audience a medley of instrument face painting antics and animal costumes.

Swank & Jams will be travelling up from their native London to add a fiery mix of afro and Balkan beats to this overwhelming eclectic mix.

Can can dancers, hula hoop spinners and burlesque performers will bring a huge visual element to the night where fun and audience participation is actively encouraged

The event is being organised by the man behind the Wickerman Festival, Sid Ambrose. He said: “I am hoping that the Eden Club Night will be the first of many events. I am most looking forward to the people of Ayrshire getting a taste of the colourful carnival atmosphere that is synonymous with the Eden brand”.

Tickets are £6 and £8 and available from www.ticketweb.co.uk or by calling 01292 269793 or 0844 477 1000.

This is an over 18s only event.
