Kirton Town Hall
The Town Hall was built over 100 years ago to serve as a meeting and events venue for the people of Kirton. It continues to serve that purpose today.
We are a small group of volunteers who form the Charity that does the day to day running of the Hall. the
The committee has provided the lunch club for the over 60’s, once a month for a number of years. This continues today, provided by the Black Bull Pub, Kirton.
We arrange concerts by Kirton Brass Band ( including last night of the proms) and the annual concert by the Spalding Ukulele Orchestra. (Look out for dates of upcoming events) There are Quizzes, currently twice a year, kurling once a week and the Christmas Craft Fair.
The Parish Council is responsible for the structural maintenance of the building on behalf of the people of Kirton. They organise the Pensioners Party in the Hall at Christmas and support the Royal British Legion on Remembrance Day.
The Town Hall can be hired at a reasonable rate for adult and childrens parties, weddings, wakes, craft and art classes and meetings, to list just a few.Facilities include, The Main Hall, The Upsall Room (a smaller meeting room), a bar provided by the Black Bull in Kirton, a music license, a fully equipped kitchen with cooking facilities and table settings which can be hired at a small extra cost. (Wifi is available if needed also a projection screen and sound system)
Toilets including disabled facilities are also available.
There is adequate car parking which is free.
All proceeds for our events and for hiring the Town Hall are used to maintain it in the excellent condition it is in today.
For more information contact Chris Astill (Chair, Kirton town Hall) on 07592 395555.

Time to Talk Day
Thursday 6th February was Time to Talk day and we hosted a Tea and Talk session at Centenary Methodist Church in Boston. There was a chance for our service users to participate in some wellbeing activities and get information about other local wellbeing services and we were joined by the fantastic Alan Madin from the Butterfly Hospice, offering some additional support and counselling.
Our BEAM team service users also got talking about their own experiences with mental health, providing peer support for one another, created a playlist of feel good tunes and posted positive messages to each other on our compliments board.
