Vikingar! has entered an exciting new phase of development, with external improvement works having commenced earlier this week. Visitors may experience some minor disruption while external works continue. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to enhance the Vikingar! experience.
The external works will include:
- Replacement of fascia boards, guttering, and downpipes
- Rendering replacement on the front and east side of the building
- Fresh paintwork at the rear, including graffiti removal
- Replacement of all handrails and bollards
These enhancements mark the beginning of a wider plan to improve Vikingar! and follow a recent refresh of the sauna entrance area to make the space more inviting and welcoming for users. The developments are part of our ongoing commitment to improving the overall experience at Vikingar!, ensuring our facilities remain comfortable and well-maintained.
Looking Ahead: Café Reopening & Community Collaboration
Preparations are also underway for the reopening of the Vikingar! café in Autumn 2025, with plans to create a vibrant, community-focused space. We’re working closely with Largs Community Council to explore new activities and programmes that will encourage greater local participation.
Building on the popular programme of the Barrfields User Group, Vikingar! will also expand its offering by hosting additional live performances at the centre from music bands and performers, bringing more entertainment to the venue.
To further enhance our family-friendly programme, Vikingar! has invested in dryside inflatable equipment, including bouncy castle/slides. These will support a refreshed birthday party experience and introduce new weekly sessions for children and families.
Stay tuned to our website and social media channels for more updates as Vikingar! continues to grow and evolve into a welcoming space for all.
