Booking Information\Hall Facilities

Craignish Village Hall is available to hire for all kinds of events. In its first year the hall has been used for weddings and receptions, concerts, recitals, regular badminton evenings, and Scottish country dancing classes, ceilidhs, art and craft exhibitions and private parties. The annual pantomime is performed in January, meantime there is circuit training, yoga and whist evenings. The hall provides PE facilities for local primary school children, and a venue for the Parents and Toddlers group. The Craignish Community Council meets here regularly.

Craignish Village Hall consists of Hall 1 (the main hall), Hall 2 (a smaller hall), a Kitchen, Bar/Servery, Computer Room, and a smaller all-purpose space on the lower level, Hall 3.

There is underfloor heating throughout the building powered by a ground source heat pump, all windows are double-glazed and insulation is well above the required standard.
