The event to celebrate the centenary of the Red Hill Hall is on Saturday week. Ticket sales are now open and can be purchased via the link https://events.humanitix.com/celebrate-100-year-s-of-the-red-hill-hall or at the Red Hill Op Shop.

We are still looking for some photos to help tell the story of the hall and in particular the balls held for the hall opening and the 'turning on of electricity to the hall'. Send a message or email [email protected] if you can help with these photos or have any others from events at the hall that you think are representative of the day.
