A Night with Afta X JS Geddes | Panel Event | 30 July 2026 | Kilmarnock

You've been Googling for months. You've got a Pinterest board that's three years old. You roughly know what you want — but you have no idea who to trust, where to start, or whether your budget is even realistic.

That's exactly why A Night with Afta exists.

This is an intimate panel evening at JS Geddes Kitchen Showroom in Kilmarnock, bringing together four industry professionals across design, interiors, and construction for an honest, no-filter conversation about home renovation.

No sales pitches. No jargon. Just real answers to the questions you've been too nervous to ask out loud.

What to expect on the night:

• Panel discussion covering the full renovation journey — from initial brief to final finishes
• Open Q&A — your questions answered by people who actually do this every day
• Champagne and canapés on arrival
• Access to the JS Geddes kitchen showroom
• An intentionally small room of homeowners at exactly the same stage as you

Meet the panel:

Ashley Lawson — Afta Interiors | Interior Architectural Designer

Ashley is a fully qualified Interior Architectural Designer, Founder of Afta Interiors. She works with homeowners across Ayrshire and Glasgow on full renovation projects, from concept through to completion. She started A Night with Afta because her clients kept coming to her overwhelmed and underinformed — and she wanted to change that.
