THE HAZEL HALL

The Hazel Hall was officially opened on 15 January 2000. It was named after our Treasurer and his wife who had done so much in ensuring that the project reached a successful conclusion.

The hall provides a wonderful facility not only for the Church but also for the local community.  At present it is used by a number of groups including Mothers and Toddlers and a Theatre Company, for various concerts and for fund raising events.
 

To enquire about using the hall please use the Contact Us link or telephone 0131 315 3163 (Answerphone).
Please note that we have NOT authorised any third party either to advertise or to act in any way on our behalf  - you can only book directly with St Ninian’s.
