A coffee bar is marking its fifth anniversary with a charity Coffee Rave.

Espresso Kart in Kilmarnock will host the event on Sunday, May 10, at 43 Campbell Place from 9am to 4pm, with all proceeds going to Ayrshire Baby Loss Support.

The day will feature coffee, music, and community spirit, with DJ sets from Gavin Wallace and Darren Simpson.

Visitors can also take part in a customer latte art competition and a raffle.

Lyndsey Pell said: "This is a big moment for us.

"Five years of the Kilmarnock Coffee bar, and a chance to bring everyone together to celebrate while raising money for a charity that means a lot to so many people.

"The support from our community has always been incredible, and this is our way of giving something back."

Espresso Kart will run its main coffee bar alongside its outdoor coffee kart and a pop-up setup to serve guests throughout the day.

A minimum donation of £5 will include coffee and cake, with all funds raised going directly to Ayrshire Baby Loss Support.

The charity was selected by the Espresso Kart community in a recent vote.

Espresso Kart opened its Kilmarnock location in 2021 and has since become Ayrshire’s first specialty coffee bar.

It has grown a loyal customer base and expanded to include a second coffee bar in Prestwick, mobile coffee catering, and its own bakery, Kartisan Bakehouse.

The event is open to all, with no tickets required. Anyone can attend by simply turning up on the day and taking part in the celebration.

More details are available on Espresso Kart’s social media platforms.
