The hall is operated by East Renfrewshire Council. It is used by the community for a number of activities including meetings, children’s dance classes and social functions. Sir Wallace Fairweather took a keen interest in Newton Mearns and in 1933 he gave £1000 for the building of the Fairweather Hall which opened on 25th November 1933 as a social and recreational centre for the village.
