West Kilbride Village Hall
West Kilbride Village Hall is that substantial architecturally admired stone building, created via private subscription, at the corner of Ritchie Street and Arthur Street - a focal point of the village since its opening in 1900. Originally intended to replace a former library and provide new leisure facilities, it was operated for its first 60 years as the privately run enterprise called the West Kilbride Institute. You can see this name carved in the stone above the main entrance.In 1959 ownership passed to the Public Authority and at present is the property of North Ayrshire Council (NAC).
As of 1 May 2012, now with a 45 year lease, it is run as a charity for the benefit of the local community and known as West Kilbride Village Hall SCIO (Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation) - SCIO number SC042666.
Increasing demand for bookings requiring catering facilities e.g.weddings,christenings, has led us to seek to further upgrade these facilities to meet modern standards. We recently obtained a grant - part from Ayrshire Leader, 90%; and part from NAC Community Development Fund, 10%. With this support we have appointed an Architect to draw up plans for new Kitchen,Toilets and disabled access. We shall keep you up to date with progress on the continuing efforts to maintain and enhance this much appreciated historic building for the benefit of our local community.
