Support the Re-opening of the Dundalk Olde Town Hall!

Community Update (November 2025):
Local not-for-profit Dundalk Team Town Hall has been working with professionals to create drawings to move forward with beginning the work necessary to re-open the first floor of the Olde Town Hall. Community fundraising will soon begin. Our projected reopening date for the theatre is Summer 2027. Watch here for updates!

Background: In February 2025, Dundalk Team Town Hall, a locally formed not-for-profit organization, purchased the Olde Town Hall from the Township of Southgate in a good faith deal, with a commitment to renovate and reopen our beloved theatre and meeting spaces. This deal was made possible by the thousands of people who spoke out in support of this project over the past few years.

The financing of this project will be made possible through the support of sponsors, community donors, and grants. This effort is for the community, by the community and we are so excited about this win for Southgate and our neighbouring communities as we grow in number and need. The Olde Town Hall is the right place to make an investment in an arts, culture and heritage hub.

Exciting things are happening at the Olde Town Hall!

Timeless Beauty

The Olde Town Hall has welcomed visitors and residents to downtown Dundalk for 120 years. The incredible charm, detail, and character adds so much to the community. Tin ceilings, beautiful wood and stained glass windows grace the theatre. They really don’t make them like this any more. The second-floor theatre and balcony can seat over 200 people at capacity, with meeting space and endless first-floor potential for community gatherings.
