Maybole 500th Anniversary Celebrations

Maybole is celebrating 500 years of being a burgh over the next few months. Maybole Community Council has secured funding from Ayrshire LEADER, Heritage Lottery, Ayrshire Youth Arts Network and North Carrick Community Benefit Fund to deliver a new and exciting project that will mark the 500th anniversary of Maybole receiving its Burgh of Barony status in 1516.

To celebrate this momentous milestone the Community Council, in partnership with local groups and organisations, is holding a series of events and one of the first events to be held was a Burns Supper. This was held in the Town Hall with the Lord - Lieutenant and the Provost of South Ayrshire as guests of honour.

Further details on events taking place later in the year will be posted on the Community Council Website - www.maybole.org

The Lord - Lieutenant would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Community Council on the success of the Burns Supper and to wish them well with the various events and celebrations during the next year.
