The Albert Halls, Stirling, originally called the New Public Halls, were opened in October 1883 with a performance of Handel's 'Messiah'. It had been intended to use the Smith Art Gallery and Museum for concerts and public events but the terms of the Trust deed would not allow this. A campaign organised by Dr Charles Allan, a local musician, was started to erect a new venue. The Stirling Public Hall Co. Ltd. was formed and the campaign successfully concluded with the opening of the Halls. The building on Dumbarton Road, Stirling, contains two main halls. It is a venue for indoor concerts, conferences, opera, fairs, and other events and meetings.
