Rural Caithness

The heart of our community

Spittal Village Hall started its life as a school which opened in 1878. In the early 1900’s, around eighty pupils were looked after by three teachers. By 1971, like many rural schools, the pupil numbers had dropped until the school was no longer viable and it closed when the head teacher retired. In 1975 Mark Murray Threipland handed the building and grounds over to a trust for the benefit of the community. A management committee was formed and a small extension added to provide a stage and committee room. Many years and a few committees later, the Hall continues to run successfully for local residents and the wider community. At Spittal Village Hall, we take immense pride in our cherished venue. We warmly welcome you to join us for a wide range of activities and celebrations. If you’re planning an event, celebration or corporate meeting, we have the space and amenities to make it perfect. We look forward to sharing the beauty of our hall with you, ensuring your event becomes an unforgettable memory.
