Broad Cove Hall sits in the heart of our rural seaside community, in Lunenburg County on the beautiful South Shore of Nova Scotia. With a history of more than 175 years, this hall has offered through the years the ideal place to gather, share good times and create memories.
The main floor is wood, with a stage at one end and a bar at the other, and along one whole side a wall of folding glass doors that opens onto the cove. On a fine evening you can push them right back and turn the room to face the water. Upstairs there is a kitchen that has fed a great many people, and a deck that looks out to the LaHave Islands.
The hall was built in 1850. Since then it has been moved back from the road, cut in half and had a new section built into the middle, and it has been a polling station, a stop on the bookmobile’s run, and a supper hall more times than anyone has counted. Each year it holds weddings and yoga, workshops and classes, the makers market, coffee mornings, concerts, the fun run and more.
The hall belongs to the Broad Cove Community Association, which is to say it belongs to the people of the village. The Association is volunteer-led and not-for-profit, and the work is to keep this an affordable and welcoming place, open to all ages and abilities.
