The main auditorium at Birnam Arts, The John Kinnaird Hall is a highly versatile space that can be set up in a variety of ways depending upon your needs. At 12m x 12m 150 delegates can be seated comfortably downstairs with an additional 36 seats on the balcony. Up to 30 delegates can be seated Boardroom Style and up to 70 Cabaret Style. A large drop down screen, powerful projector, blackout curtains and an in-house speaker system with a hearing loop provides excellent audio-visual facilities, so much so that we have a regular Film Club at Birnam Arts. The flexible nature of the room allows smaller and mid-range conferences to have smaller breakout areas within the room, avoiding the expense of extra room hire. With The Birnam Art Centre's growing reputation as a hub of the local community, the John Kinnaird Hall is also frequently used for Public Consultation Events by companies undertaking infrastructure projects, for Public Meetings such as Electoral Hustings and by local groups for AGM's.
