-
The Brunton Theatre and associated bar and bistro also incorporates the Brunton Memorial Hall providing rooms for community meetings. It houses various East Lothian Council Offices, including the Registrar's Office and Marriage Rooms.
The building is textured concrete and glass, and was designed by William Kininmonth, with a gilded relief sculpture by Tom Whalen, a Scottish sculptor, on the façade. The name derives from John D. Brunton, son of John Brunton, the founder of the Brunton Wireworks. He died in 1951 and left a bequest of £700,000 to the people of Musselburgh for the purpose of creating a community hall. The Town Council supplemented this and created a larger scheme which incorporated their offices.
