Farr Community Hall was conceived to serve the community living in the Farr telephone exchange area to the south of Inverness and fund raising commenced in the mid 1990s.
In January 2000 the hall was opened, and although co-located with the football and shinty pitches, in the Farr area, it serves the whole of the Strathnairn Community Council area along with the pre-existing Strathnairn Hall at Daviot.
In 2021 Farr Community Hall Association was wound up and the assets transferred to the new Farr Community Hall SCIO, the constitution of the new SCIO can be viewed by clicking on the 'Documents' tab.
