Food for thought

Last week's meeting of our Ambassadors group was the best yet, with some tasty ideas for the future of the Town Hall.

The hot topic of the evening was food and drink.  And it was suggested that the Town Hall could become a one-stop destination for a top night out.

So would you come to the Town Hall for a show and a meal (and  a glass or two of something refreshing)?  How much would you pay for a night out in the town like that?

This is just one of a whole host of ideas on the menu for next year when the Town Hall reopens.

Let us know what you think.  Add your comments to this Blog or use the Contact Us section on the North Lanarkshire Council website here (the page is headed Motherwell Concert Hall and Theatre - but your comments will still get to the right people!)

Back to the Feedback

We're staring to get a feel for what the future programme of events might be at the Town Hall.

Many people have told us that they want a bigger choice of entertainment at the Stirling Street venue - and we are already planning for this behind the scenes.

Of course, as well as re-opening after the refurbishment next year, 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the building first opening.  Two reasons to celebrate - and we are hoping to mark the centenary in style!

So what about you?  What do you want to see at the Town Hall?  Everyone can have a say in the future of the Town Hall - so don't hold back - get in touch today!

Why not check out our Flickr page here for some very recent pictures of work in progress?  There are some very striking views of a stage-less Main Hall!

And, if you were a regular at the Town Hall before it closed last year, check out this picture - notice anything different?

It's a joke!

New blog for Airdrie Town Hall

Welcome to our new blog!

The famous Stirling Street landmark celebrates its centenary year in 2012. Right now, the building is closed for a £3.1million refurbishment - courtesy of the Heritage Lottery Fund and North Lanarkshire Council.
Airdrie Town Hall will re-open in March/April 2012 with a whole new programme of events and a stunning new look.

And very soon, we'll be asking for your thoughts on the future of the Town Hall.  Watch this space!
