About Ardgay Hall
Ardgay Public Hall sits in the middle of the village of Ardgay in Sutherland. The main hall itself is large with a large raised stage and back stage area. There is also a well equipped modern kitchen and a small meeting room and carpark. We also have super fast broadband. The total capacity is 150. Traditionally the Hall has been used for weddings, ceilidhs, concerts, funerals and parties. We also like to have fun keeping fit and playing games with the Ardgay Badminton Club, Scottish Country Dancing, Tai Chi and general keep fit activities. Other regular user groups include our Lady Bird nursery club, music and art and craft groups. The hall is also used for community council meetings and elections.
Our fund raising activities mix fun with fund raising and include events such as community markets, garden swaps, repair cafes and auctions. We love working with other local organisations to run these events.
Our original village hall building - Balnagown Hall - dates back to 1892, and our new hall was rebuilt in 1969. The hall is available for all to use and continues to be the focus for many community activities.
