Arran Rock n Blues Festival is a family friendly music festival hosting live bands. It is a welcoming inclusive festival run over two days with two stages one being the village hall the other the garden at the hotel in Lochranza. Opportunities are given to local musicians to perform and a backline and professional sound engineer is provided. To supplement the festival we are hosting a market on the green which showcases local food, drink and crafts

We're applying for funding to allow us to run various green, environmentally friendly, workshops across summer as part of our Ayrshire sculpture competition.

LMC offers an informal setting for amateur musicians to meet on a regular basis and encourage one another to improve their skill level on their preferred musical instrument.

We would like to re-run our free six-week adult art workshop Everyone an Artist, at the North Ayrshire Foodbank in Ardrossan. We would like to purchase new materials to learn new skills.

Join us for an evening of Murder Mystery in Dalry,

The play will be performed by a local theatre comapany (Beith Theatre Company) and can be enjoyed by people of most age groups.

These events are great fun and using only the little grey cells, the audience are invited to follow the clues and solve the mystery!

Chauvet Wash FX Hex LED light would help enhabnce the annual pantomime produced by Livingstone Players. The idea would be to purchase 2 and have them located near the sound station at the back of the hall so that additional effects can be added in addition to the lighting that the backstage crew control.. 

This is a comminity based project and is made up of a variety of local people of different ages and backgrounds who come together to produce, choreograph and write an annual pantomime as well as support all the technical background required to put the show on.  

Oor Hame is a project looking at what home means. Photo workshops will encourage young people to produce their own idea of what makes “Hame” and create an open air gallery in local shop windows.

GVCCB wants to encourage music throughout its locality- known to promote health and wellbeing especially within this rural community. 

We are looking to further promote the band by purchasing promotional goods such as banners, buy music to add to our  existing library,  and to replenish our music stands as  many are in  need of repair

Part of SeaSalt Streets' remit is to create public awareness and engagement through a series of pop-up events. As part of previous public consultation, it has come to our notice that people know little or nothing of Betsy Miller.

SeaSalt Streets intend to use the funds to hold two events in Saltcoats to raise the awareness of Betsy Miller, Britain's 1st Female Sea Captain. 

It is hoped that the success of the events would lead to more similarly themed promotions on a regular basis.
