Village Hall Activity
Achnamara Village Hall has recently benefited from a grant from HIE from the Greening Community Assets Fund to insulate the hall, making it warmer in winter and cheaper to run. The work is now complete and the hall is open for normal activities. Our next major project is to replace the hall floor – fund raising in progress.
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.
