The main motivation behind local people within the Moray community coming together to form the charity, was the desire and determination to save Elgin Town Hall from closure by the Moray Council with effect from July 2018. We have offered events for up to 600 patrons and we have also developed and delivered opportunities for many community groups to use the Hall on a regular basis. This confirms the importance that we see as a Board in providing very much needed social opportunities for all, as well as being a venue that has a growing economic impact locally. In April 2027 when we reoccupy Elgin Town Hall our capacity will increase significantly, and we look forward to welcoming more patrons with a capacity of 800 in the main auditorium plus the new studio space. We also continue to support local groups who use the Hall for a wide variety of activities. Supporting young people to engage in dance, theatre, gymnastics etc.
