Beith Cultural & Heritage Society was formed with the aim of establishing a collection of photographs and objects associated with the heritage of the town and surrounding area, thus ensuring their preservation while also providing information, and promoting an interest and understanding of local history. Another aim was ensuring the future of the former Townhouse building, which was empty and surplus to the requirements of its owner, the local authority. The Townhouse, which is run by volunteers, is run as a local heritage centre with a mixture of permanent exhibits and temporary exhibitions, usually with a local theme. Admission to the exhibitions is always free. A particular focus is preserving and displaying Beith made furniture. We encourage visits from groups and the local primary school. Additionally, we hold regular talks on a variety of historical topics. These are held during the day and evenings to cater for as many people as possible.
