Campsie Memorial Hall Project
Campsie Memorial Hall, a Victorian venue in Lennoxtown town centre which dates to 1866, is undergoing an extensive renovation and upgrading.
The project is one of three regeneration projects currently underway in Lennoxtown:
- Campsie Memorial Hall project
- Lennoxtown Greenspace project
- Lennoxtown Main Street project.
The Campsie Memorial Hall Revitalisation project will see the usability of the building increase by reconfiguration and replacement of the 1950s extension.
The new-state-of-the-art building will continue to serve as a meeting point and venue for the people of Lennoxtown, whilst also appealing to groups from further afield who are seeking a well-equipped modern venue for performances and meetings. A more streamlined layout will improve accessibility for a wider range of groups.

Campsie Memorial Hall will close to the public on Monday 14 April 2025. Following a decant, construction work begins in May and the Hall will re-open in early 2026.
A smart new frontage and access will be created to enhance the entrance to the venue.
As well as undergoing an external facelift, the internal layout of the building will be reconfigured to ensure the best use of space. All key activity spaces will now be across one level to promote greater accessibility and inclusion.
All services in the Hall will be organised around a central reception foyer with refurbished Main Hall and lesser hall, along with new kitchen facilities, accessible toilets, and additional spaces.
Net zero ambitions will be realised by use of renewable energy and highest standards of insulation and various energy and resource efficiency measures to cut carbon and ongoing running costs.
Funding for the project was secured from the Scottish Government Capital Grant Fund which has granted £950,000 towards the renovation.
A further £600,000 of funding is from The Council’s Capital Programme.
To ensure safety while the renovation works are ongoing, Lennox Square Car park – which is adjacent to the Hall – will remain closed.
The internal upgrades to the building will ensure that it is fully accessible and therefore able to accommodate a wider range of groups.
The main Hall will be suitable for functions and performances as well as for regular community groups and clubs who have utilised the space in recent years.
