Merry Christmas to you all. Ho, Ho, Ho.

We let the Wainman Room on Christmas Day to a family so that they could have their Xmas Dinner together. The reason for the family wanting to use the hall was that one person had mobility issues and could not access a standard house.

I think that you will agree from the above photos that our Hall Keeper, Brian, has gone over and above to add an extra degree of festivity-ness to their celebrations.

Thank you for being so thoughtful Brian.

If you have a function or are interested in booking the Hall why not send us a message here ?

A date for your diaries – 7th November.

Kemnay Movie Nights / Kemnay Village Hall

Kemnay Movie Nights are excited to share our good news. We have received an award from the National Lottery Community Fund to help enable us to purchase a new projector for Kemnay Village Hall. Discussions are now underway to source and install a new projector.    

The National Lottery Community Fund, Scotland Chair, Kate Still said: “This November, the National Lottery celebrates its 30th birthday. For three decades, communities have come together, supporting one another and transforming lives through lottery funding — a truly inspiring achievement.

“National Lottery players can take pride in knowing that their contributions have helped people across Scotland lead more fulfilling and connected lives.”

The Kemnay Movie Nights team and the Kemnay Village Hall committee would like to take this opportunity to thank the National Lottery Community Fund, National Lottery players – and all our loyal KMN supporters for their help throughout the 2023-2024 film night season – for helping to raise funds for the purchase and installation of a new projector.

We sincerely hope you will all continue to use KMN screenings to catch up with friends and relatives and share a movie or two with them. KMN is nothing without your support and enthusiasm. That includes all team members past and present as well.

A brief rundown of what is happening over the next few months.

Friday 11^th October @7.30pm

Support your Local Library – a gothic pub-rock opera   

A love letter to libraries, this two-hander celebrates the written word and the power it gives us. Combining songs, sketches and poetry, Ruth and Keith (AKA Black Liver) bring you a laugh-out-loud show of sentimentality, silliness and satire. You’ll never look at your local library the same after this! Tickets £10 and £7 (students and under 18s) available from Kemnay Farm Shop and Kintore Library, online at https://www.NEATshows.co.uk/events/ or by emailing bookings@kemnayhall.co.uk or send us a message here.

Sunday 10^th November @ 7.30pm

Firelight Trio 

Firelight Trio is a mighty new group featuring Fatea instrumentalist of the Year 2023 Gavin Marwick (fiddle), groovily inventive accordionist/pianist Phil Alexander (Moishe’s Bagel), and Ruth Morris (Outlander, HBO) on the beautiful Swedish nyckelharpa. They play European music that is evocative, inventive, wide-ranging, and endlessly exciting – a rich tapestry of lively Swedish polskas and Scottish reels, lilting French waltzes, toe-tapping klezmer, and dazzling original tunes. Don’t miss them!  Tickets £10 and £7 (students and under 18s) available from Kemnay Farmshop and Kintore Librariy, online at https://www.NEATshows.co.uk/events/ or by emailing bookings@kemnayhall.co.uk or send us a message here.

Is that a Whip in your Hand?     

A comedy spoof. It’s ‘Indiana Jones’ meets ‘National Treasure’ meets ‘Lara Croft’.
