Regenerating St Columb鈥檚 Hall with 拢181,000 support

The Grade A listed former temperance hall sits in the heart of the walled City of Derry / Londonderry. The building was closed since the start of the pandemic, but now with 拢181,000 from the Community Ownership Fund, the hall is brought back to its former glory.

Preparing for the future

The hall will be future proofed by:

  • working with conservation specialists to improve accessibility and plan for future adaptations
  • completing urgent works to make the building safe and accessible for the public

This will enable St Columb鈥檚 Hall Trust to begin generating income to secure the Hall鈥檚 long-term future.

Preserving the past

The funding will help to:

  • capture oral histories and generate awareness of heritage significance
  • work with groups to research the heritage of the hall and its future
  • reactivate community connection with the Hall
