Byrness Village Hall

In October 2023 our refurbished village hall reopened. Following a huge fundraising effort and much delayed by covid lock-down and movement restrictions, alterations were finally completed.

Byrness Hall is an Armstrong Building given to Byrness by the Forestry Commission in the 1950’s. It was desperately in need of an update.

We now have a well insulated, smart and warm communal space with ground source heating replacing the old overhead radiant heaters. Space re-jigged to provide better toilet facilities including disabled and baby changing area. New kitchen complete with new appliances. A complete new roof was erected, so thanks to our main funders and local donations the refurbishment was finally finished. Fundraising continues to enable the installation of solar panels to our new roof and also battery pack so in the event of a major power outage the village hall will be of assistance to the village and wider parish community.

• Full fibre broadband to the premises so the venue is ideal for training purposes.

• Disabled access through the main and all three emergency doors.

• Full facilities in the kitchen and main hall, sturdy folding tables

• Seating for 60

• Ample parking.

The Hall is used by a regular Craft Club on a Thursday evening, the Parish Council and Church Council, local business users, the Forestry Commission and the Montane Spine Race as well as other community events.

The hall is available for hire, please contact Barbara Sunley on 07860 671442 for current hire rates and availability. On line booking form available.
