Large Exhibition and Events space

Extending to 340 square metres, with a wooden floor and a maximum height of approximately 10 metres. This flexible space can be used for exhibitions, launches, fairs, special events and performances. Hire rates are dependent upon your requirements and are available on request. To enquire about availability and to request a quote, please complete this form.

Workshop Area 

This open space near the entrance (non-enclosed) is suitable for small classes or market stalls, and is also available for hire or for free (to certain community events) depending on the size and nature of your event. To enquire about availability and to request a quote, please complete this form.

Please note that, in general, none of the rooms in the Out of the Blue Drill Hall are suitable for ceilidhs, wedding parties etc. This is because the building is not licenced to be open to the public after 11pm and, as we are situated in a residential area, loud music would cause inconvenience to our neighbours.

 

Catering

The Drill Hall Arts Café is open 10am-5pm Monday-Saturday and can also provide a tailored catering service for specific events, at very competitive prices.
