Villagers get ready to react to fun day

Tayinloan will come alive next Saturday (August 26) when the biggest party of the summer comes to the village.

 

West Kintyre Promotions (WKP), in conjunction with West Kintyre Wind Farm Trust and Tayinloan Hall, is bringing a huge inflatables park to the village which will include a disco dome, slide and assault course, as well as a surf simulator, pillow bash and gladiator duel.

 

The event, dubbed ‘React’, promises to be a brilliant day of fun with Funky Chicken on hand for more fun and games and special visits for Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Woody and Jessie from Toy Story.

 

There will also be stalls in the hall as well as live music throughout the afternoon and evening with the likes of The Ronains, fresh from a sold out Scottish tour, Petty Cassettes, who played the event last year, locals The Twisted Melons and Anavrin on the bill.

Frog Dylan are also making the journey from Liverpool as part of a Scottish minitour and Glasgow favourites Roisin McCarney and Allan Purvis will kick the live music off.

 

For those who fancy a sing-song, there will be open mic, disco from Sound City and a wee bit of ceilidh dancing too.

 

Platinum Bar will be on hand all day with drinks along with Olly's Street Food.

 

And, best of all in these difficult times, everything is free, but organisers say people are welcome to make a wee donation on the day if they can.

 

Lesley Norris from WKP said: “We wanted to do something big, and our first thought was a festival, but times are tough and it was a bit more complicated than we thought, so we decided to do a big day out to thank everyone who has come to one of our events, to showcase West Kintyre as a destination to live, work or visit, and, for those of you who have never been to a WKP event, then there has to be something in this one that will get you to come along!

 

“We would like this to be a moveable event across the area, so any donations collected at this one will help fund next year's event.”
