'A rave is no place for a wee dug': Lid lifted on bizarre Ayr festival requests

Organisers of two massive dance music festivals in Ayr this weekend have revealed some of the bizarre requests they've had from revellers.

Pavilion and STREETrave festivals are set to take over the Low Green with a crowd of 12,000 expected across Saturday and Sunday.

A quarter of the Low Green has been transformed into an arena set to be filled with top acts from the current day and icons from the past.

With any festival there will be a list of do's and don't, but organisers have been left truly miffed by some of the queries they had had flooding in from fans.

The open space that sits next to the Ayr Pavilion and faces onto the sandy beach is popular amongst dog users, but festival bosses were left stunned when someone asked if they could bring their pooch along to the rave.

Other festival goers were intent on bringing a chair, whilst some were looking to bring their own sandwhiches.

A list of FAQs was shared on STREETrave's social media, with organisers providing guidance after being quizzed by revellers.

Here are just some of the weird and wonderful questions they were asked.

  • Can I bring a chair - no, against policy. limited benches available at fest. more in VIP area
  • Can I bring my dog - no, a rave is no place for a wee dug
  • Bar - yes, with a selection lager, cider, alcopops, spirits + mixers, wine, soft drinks
  • Food - plenty of options at our site!
  • Cash - yes accepted at the fest
  • Leave and re-enter? - no pass outs
  • VIP - Upgrades are now sold out but we have a limited number of VIP tix still available on Skiddle
  • Pick up and drop off points for taxis - Cromwell Park
  • Can I bring a bag - yes, no larger than A4
  • Last entry - 6pm
  • Can I bring in food or drink - no, food and drink is available to purchase on site

Organisers are encouraging revellers to behave across the weekend stating that "Ayr is for everyone."

A welfare tent will be in place for both festivals for anyone to go if they feel unwell.

Revellers have also been advised to bring warm clothing, with temperatures set to dip at night. A cloakroom will be available on the site throughout both days.
