aboutSectionText

Our main offering is as a music and arts venue to serve the town of Galashiels and the wider area. The local community benefits from our activities through the varied live music and theatre productions programme. Recently, we have hosted bands and performers on the national circuit such as The Skids, Hamish Hawk, Callum Beattie and The Rezillos. Comedy performers from national TV have appeared recently, including Rich Hall and Ivo Graham, and we have benefitted from performances varying from Shakespearian plays to one man shows from David Hayman The venue is available to hire with activities ranging from amateur wrestling to the town’s brass band practice sessions, to small scale productions of plays and comedy acts from the national circuit.

Doors are push doors and inside the building there are no steps however some slopes going into the auditorium and going to the toilet facilities. Doors are wide enough for standard wheelchairs but we can check in advance for any larger wheelchairs to ensure no access issues. Our staff will be on hand for any assistance and we are also available to discuss accessibility prior to any visit. We also have a dedicated seating area for non wheelchair users who require seating - this can be pre-booked on request however it is available on a first come, first served basis.
