What is a Town hall?
A ‘Town Hall Meeting’ typically refers to the centuries old practice of gathering people of a local area together in a central, public meeting place to discuss and talk through issues relating to the community together.

​Historically they have been a crucial part of local governance and organising, giving an opportunity for local leaders to meet with the people that they represent in order to act in their best interests.

​Why do we hold them at Lighthouse?
We hold Town halls at Lighthouse because, as a publicly funded charity, we want our work to be shaped by and accountable to the people it serves.

​Town Halls aim to be a space for people to share what matters to them and highlight gaps in the local cultural landscape, so we can put on events that better reflect the needs and perspectives of young people.

​Format of a Lighthouse Town Hall
