Hall Update

The spring renewal project has reopened our main hall for bigger local gatherings.

Fresh lighting, improved seating zones, and a better foyer layout mean clubs, classes, and civic meetings can now share the building more comfortably through the busiest months of the year.

The work was delivered with volunteer support, local trades, and partner donations so the space stays welcoming for every generation.

Community Spotlight
Portrait of Sorcha Quinn

Sorcha Quinn

Director

“A community hall works best when it feels useful on an ordinary Tuesday as much as on a special celebration. We keep the doors open for both.”

Sorcha leads planning with residents, volunteers, and partner groups so the hall remains practical, friendly, and ready for the next generation of local life.
