Maryhill Burgh Halls is the historic seat of the Maryhill Burgh, run by the community-focused charity Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust. The Trust was established in November 2004 by a group of local people who wanted to save the building from threatened demolition. Led by Hunter Reid, The Regeneration Project resulted in the complete renovation of the building in 2012 and since then Maryhill Burgh Halls has reopened to the community as heritage, community, event space for the local area and beyond.

Maryhill Burgh Halls is home to Maryhill Museum which holds a permanent collection of local artefacts as well as archival material. It also hosts a regular programme of temporary exhibitions and events focussing on local history and community stories. Guided tours of the building are avialable and occasionally free guided walking tours of the area.

There are also several local businesses as well as the Maryhill Hub who rent office space here.

Volunteers are at the heart of the successful running of the Halls, whether from helping out on a day to day basis through to our voluntary Board of Trustees. We work with local organisations and actively work to bring in all members of the local community.

We are committed to making the Halls accessible for people of all. Please read our accessibility guide to the Halls here.
