The Hall is a community asset which the Trust owns and manages. It is run entirely by volunteers and is funded by local fundraising, grants and donations. The garden behind the Hall is being worked upon by local volunteers and has added another useful and beautiful dimension as a 'Community Garden'.

They are keen to utilise this charming and unique facility to benefit the local community. They welcome ideas about additional uses for the Hall. It has been used for musical events, coffee mornings, private parties, a craft group, meetings and village “get togethers” at various times of year.

Jubilee Hall Renovation Project

Full planning approval was granted by Fife Council on 10 June 2022 and the work was undertaken in 2023. Details of grant funders on fundraising page.  

Automatic External Defibrillator (AED)

There is an Automatic External Defibrillator outside the Jubilee Hall in Burnturk.

This was donated to the community in 2018 in memory of Jim Hyndman by his wife Zena. Fund raising took place at various music nights including those organised by Raymond Riisenberg at Jubilee Hall. There was also a substantial donation towards it from The Rotary Club of The Howe of Fife.

The Local Guardian for defibrillator is Evelyn Riisenberg.

Defibrillator awareness training was provided by Kirsty Drummond, and AED is maintained with support from East Neuk First Responders.
