Location
The Victoria Hall is situated near the centre of Ellon about half way along Station Road. Dating from 1901, the building is a historic feature for the town comprising two floors; the ground floor, together with its associated extension buildings, is occupied by the Ellon branch of the Royal British Legion whereas the first floor, comprising a large function hall and associated facilities (referred to as the ‘Victoria Hall’) is run by the Victoria Hall Trust.
The Victoria Hall was conceived in 1896 and completed in 1901. It features a generous solid maple floor measuring 19.8m by 10.3m, a stage, and an impressive 7 m high ceiling. Its large vertical windows together provide generous access for natural light during day time creating a wonderful welcoming atmosphere for those attending the classes and events.
