Welcome to Bonar Bridge Community Hall

The building which is over 100 year old, contributes to the main village frontage on Lairg Road and sits next to the Carnegie Free Library, overlooking the Kyle of Sutherland.

The building was commissioned by the Oddfellows in the 19th century and then taken over by the Territorial Army. The Ratepayers Association bought the building from the Territorial Army in the 1950s and ran the hall until it was transferred to the Bonar Bridge Community Hall in 2004.

The maintenance of the building is an essential part of the upkeep of the village. It is the only hall in the village and as such is the meeting point for local organisations and the centre of community life.

In the winter months the weekly Whist Club is hosted in turn by the various voluntary organisations in the town, thus enabling them to raise funds through the sale of teas and a raffle. This is an example of the spirit of co-operation in Bonar Bridge, where traditional values are still appreciated. The OAP’s Christmas lunch is the highlight of the winter calendar, when volunteers team together to ensure the older members of the community have a superb meal and great entertainment to follow.

The first Saturday in August sees the start of the Kyle of Sutherland Gala Week, with many events held in the hall including the Baby Show, Family Ceilidh & Whist.

The committee is currently raising funds for the refurbishment of the hall. This will be carried out in phases, starting with the kitchen in 2008.
