Maryhill Burgh Halls is a community-focused organisation run by Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust. The Trust was established in 2004 by a group of local people who wanted to save the building as it was threatened with demolition. The Regeneration Project resulted in the complete renovation of the building in 2012 and since then Maryhill Burgh Halls has become once again the heart of the local community.

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 the local community. Guided tours of the building are avialable and occasionally free guided walking tours of the area.

Venue hire is an important source of income which helps contribute to the upkeep of the building. There are also several local businesses who rent office space here.

Volunteers are invaluable to the 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.
