It is home to a youth club, football club and the Wellingborough base of GLJ Theatre.

While it has been a tough year for Glamis Hall, they teamed up with Wellingborough's Victoria Centre last April to form One Wellingborough to help anyone who was vulnerable, shielding or isolated during the pandemic.
