Hall Rental Information

Hall Features

Up to 140 person occupancy, but comfortably seats 110 to 120 persons

Great News! In the spring of 2024 acoustic panels were installed on the walls in the hall of Little Britain United Church. In addition to use by the congregation, the hall is also used by community groups and is available for rentals.  Acoustics in the hall had been poor in the past, but not anymore. These acoustic panels are helping to make group events more pleasant and enjoyable. Speakers can be more easily heard and understood; Music sounds better; And Everyone can hear and participate in conversation more easily.

A big Thank You goes out to the Selkirk and District Community Foundation for helping to fund these panels.
