The venue was officially opened by East Dunbartonshire Provost Gillian Renwick after a £2.279 million revitalisation project which was completed earlier in 2026. 

Now the hall has now been handed over to the Campsie Memorial Hall Trust who will be managing the building.

East Dunbartonshire Council, development partner Hub West Scotland and main contractor Linear Design and Construct all worked on the revamp.

A total of £950,000 funding from the Scottish Government Regeneration Capital Grant Fund has been given to The Campsie Memorial Hall Revitalisation Project. 

This served as an addition to the £1.329m from the council’s Capital Programme. 

Additionally, the Scottish Landfill Communities Fund gave funding to the capital cost for renewables and fit-out, including £50,000 funded by Patersons Quarries Ltd.

In April 2025, the hall closed to the public in April 2025, and internal and external works were underway in May that same year. 

Dating back to 1866, the Victorian building, which is situated in Main Street, has been turned into a new facility that will serve a number of regular community groups and clubs, and will host occasional events.

Provost of East Dunbartonshire Gillian Renwick said: “This fantastic venue will benefit people in the village and beyond who now have a modern and accessible building which can support a wide range of clubs and activities.”

Council leader Gordon Low said: “The opening of the new Campsie Memorial Hall is exciting news for Lennoxtown, and the wider area.

“This building has always held a special place in people’s hearts, and the improvements delivered by this project have breathed new life into the venue and will ensure that it is used to its full potential for many years to come.

“The Campsie Memorial Hall Revitalisation Project, alongside the Lennoxtown Main Street and Greenspace Projects, mark major investment in Lennoxtown by the Council.”

Scottish Government business minister Tom Arthur said: “We are pleased to have contributed £950,000 from the Scottish Government Regeneration Capital Grant Fund to help revitalise Campsie Memorial Hall.

“The improved hall will provide a more accessible, flexible and multi-purpose venue for delivery of a range of services and opportunities that address the needs and priorities of the community to support people to live well locally.”

The transformation includes an extension which provides a frontage to Main Street. Inside, the Hall has been reconfigured to deliver flexible activity spaces all on one level.

Iain Marley, chief executive at Hub West Scotland, said: “This project is a vital community asset at the heart of the local community which has been modernised with improved energy efficiency and thermal comfort, flexibility and accessibility to provide an improved facility for the people of Lennoxtown.”

Ryan Broadley, managing director at Linear Design & Construct, added: “This project has transformed a valued community asset into a modern, accessible and sustainable facility while carefully preserving its importance to the local community. Throughout the works, we worked collaboratively with all project partners to deliver a high-quality building that will serve local residents for many years to come.”

Catherine Drummond, chair of the Campsie Memorial Hall Trust (CMHT), said: “The new flooring has significantly enhanced the acoustics, and our gymnastics, martial arts, and dance groups have already noticed the difference it makes to their activities.

“Our theatrical stage remains one of our greatest assets, and with the addition of new sound and lighting systems, it is now even more attractive to theatrical and drama groups, as well as ideal for performing bands.”
