Holytown Community Facility

Holytown Community Facility was built in 1925 under the Miners Welfare Fund (The Mining Industry Act 1920). The building was used for the miners and their families for meetings, recreation & socialising.

When the pits closed and the miners’ numbers dwindled the Committee signed the building over to Lanark County Council’s Education Department on condition that it was used for the Community.

On the ground floor there is a large hall with a stage. The hall has a seating capacity of 200 and can be used for discos, dances etc. The backdrop to the stage is a mural painted by a local artist with the subject being Holytown through the years.
