Animation School is back at The Media Studio in West Kilbride.

If your child loves drawing, making up stories, creating characters or experimenting with technology, this is a brilliant chance for them to try something a little different.

Our previous Animation School blocks have all booked out, and we’re excited to be doing it all again.

Friday is currently reserved for returning families and we’re just waiting on them to confirm their places, but our Tuesday class is now open for bookings.

The children will get hands on with animation, create their own characters and stories, experiment with different ideas and bring their creations to life on screen.

If you know a young creative who would love to have a go, we’d love to welcome them along.

Book the Tuesday class here:

Spaces are limited and our previous blocks have filled quickly.

Make space to breathe this Sunday. 🌿

Join us for SOMA Sundays at The Barony Centre, West Kilbride — a calming hour designed to help you release stress and tension, quiet the noise, and reconnect with yourself.

Sometimes, one intentional, slow, deep breath is all it takes to feel a little more grounded. Come as you are, take some time for yourself, and leave feeling clearer, calmer and re-energised.

📅 Sunday 4th October
🕛 12–1pm
📍 The Barony Centre, West Kilbride

Breathe. Ground. Reset.

We've had an amazing response to the Fencebay Band Fundraising gig.
Only a handful of tickets left so get them fast from the Barony shop!

It's going to be a great night, great music, and good company, BYOB and we'll have burgers on the grill (donated by J Climie Butchers). We've also had some truly AMAZING raffle prizes donated by local businesses, crafters and artists and individuals e.g. A Seal Spotting boat trip, Highland Cow Grooming experience, hand painted ch*****ne flutes, hand thrown mugs, original artworks, an MOT, wh**ky, ch*****ne... and a lot more . Every penny raised will go towards the Barony and Craft Town Scotland!
