Marymass Festival is run entirely by volunteers, working year round to plan and organise 12 days of festivities. A common misconception is we are funded and organised by North Ayrshire Council, this is not the case. We apply for grant funding and fundraise all year round to make one of Scotland's largest free community festivals possible.

If you are able, please consider making a donation to Marymass Festival to help ensure the future of our organisation. We are grateful for any donations, no matter how large or small.

​

Your donations will go directly towards new events and attractions at our festival, such as free kids activities on Irvine Moor. We are also open to any suggestions to help utilise the donations in the best possible way to enhance the festival.

​

Each year, our team will share with you the ways in which your donations have helped to improve Marymass.

In 2025 we have been able to secure another year of the free kids zone on Irvine Moor, benefiting local and visiting children. We have also enchanced our Fourth Port Parade, improving on the year previous, seen our jousters return for a fantastic free stunt show and enhance our Marymass Parade with a few additions which you might just notice...
