Village Hall Activity
Achnamara Village Hall has recently been substantially refurbished. A grant from HIE from the Greening Community Assets Fund allowed us to insulate the hall, making it warmer in winter and cheaper to run. A further grant from Awards for All allowed us to replace and insulate the floor. The work is now complete and the hall is open for normal activities.
Here are details of the usual regular events held in Achnamara Village Hall, open to all. Watch the Facebook page for any variations. The hall also holds some One Off events including illustrated talks, fairs, musical events and dinners.
If you have any enquiries regarding these activities please send us a message from the Contact Page. The hall is available for booking for private events at £15/hour (including electricity) – contact events@achnamara.org for bookings.
