Hermitage Hall

About

Hermitage Hall is the only hall within the Upper Liddesdale and Hermitage Community Council area. Since 1910 it has served a remote, rural community with no village. The Hall is governed by a volunteer management committee elected annually by/from residents of the community. The mission of the committee is to provide/maintain a facility with guiding principles of inclusion, wellbeing, creativity, learning and sustainability. The Hall organises/hosts a large number of activities/events, including coffee mornings, film nights, dances, speaker events, local history presentations and craft fairs. The Hall is hired for various other events (e.g., local charity fundraisers, cycling events support) and is used for community council meetings, corporate presentations, political surgeries and as a polling site. The average annual footfall is approximately 1,200. The Hall also provides an external publicly available defibrillator and is the resilience centre for the ULHCC area.
