The hall is 100m² with 8 rooms. There is standing capacity for 193 and seating capacity of 124. There were roof repairs done in 2001/2002. A wind turbine and new heating system have recently been installed (2010).

There are plans for extensive refurbishment of the hall – new entrance, revamping the toilet areas, improvements to the meeting room/club room and bar areas. The feasibility study was completed in 2010.
