A FINAL fling was held before Paisley Town Hall closed its doors for a major refurbishment.

The sell-out Festive Family Ceilidh was the last event before the doors of the iconic hall closed.

The town hall will reopen in 2021 as a major venue attracting events and people to the town.

But locals got a chance to have one last celebration through the festive ceilidh featuring traditional Scottish music and dancing. The event has been popular for a number of years.

Victoria Hollows, chief executive of Renfrewshire Leisure, said: “There was no better way to celebrate both the end of the year and the Town Hall closing for renovation than to have a full-house of people enjoying themselves.

“And when the building re-opens there will be many more exciting events and shows taking place there to look forward to.”

The refurbishment of the town hall is one of the key projects within Renfrewshire Council’s £100 million investment in venues and infrastructure over the next few years, as part of a wider plan to use the town's unique heritage and cultural assets to transform its future.
