[1] Barrfields Pavilion, as it was originally known, was officially opened on 11 April 1930, as a popular variety theatre to cater for the thousands of summer tourists who visited the town of Largs, North Ayrshire.
Many international Scottish entertainers and actors have played the theatre over the years including Rikki Fulton, Jack Milroy, Jimmy Logan, Stanley Baxter, The Krankies, Ronnie Corbett, Johnny Beattie, Billy Connolly and from south of the border, Frankie Vaughan and Pat Kirkwood.
It is now a busy touring venue thanks to the efforts of its associated Barrfields Theatre User Group.
Seating was reduced to 500, and new spacious foyers were created along with dressing room block, Winter Garden Cafe Bar, and new stage facilities.
The theatre is situated as part of the Vikingar leisure Centre, Barrfields, Greenock Road, Largs.
