Abbey Tower update

As work continues on the Tower's restoration we have been given a new completion date of mid-late September and we hope to re-open the Heritage Centre in Spring 2027. We regret that there will be no Papingo shoot in 2026 and that we will be unable to participate in Ayrshire's Doors Open Days 2026. We are looking forward to a refurbished Tower which will continue be a great asset to the town for many years to come.Tower June 2026
