The Cultural Quarter is a partnership with Elgin Town Hall for the Community, the Grant Lodge Trust, our network of stakeholders, supporters and the wider community.

Phase 1 is Elgin Town Hall. LDN Architects are leading the designs to significantly update Elgin Town Hall. It is currently undergoing a major refurbishment which will make the building fully accessible, improve circulation and acoustic separation between spaces, create new performance spaces, a new bar, rehearsal/practice room and vastly enhance the overall visitor experience.

Taylor & Fraser Ltd. are leading the current refurbishment construction works of the building. 

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS BUILDING WILL BE IN CONSTRUCTION DURING DOORS OPEN DAY VISITS.

Phase 2 is Grant Lodge. Moray Council and our partners are making plans to bring Grant Lodge back into use into use as a thriving heritage, tourism, and events hub for the community of Moray. With Page \ Park Architects leading on the designs. The carefully restored heritage venue will provide a range of fully accessible, flexible, elegant spaces including ‘interactive’ welcome room, café/bar, gallery, exhibition, retail, events spaces.

It is hoped that this project will start in 2027 following further fundraising and work with the community of supporters.
