Originally built for 6th Battalion (TF), Devonshire Regiment (G Company) including kitchen: in its early life this venue held boxing matches, picture shows, local council and committee meetings.

During the early twentieth-century, local volunteer soldiers competed to win 'silver spoons'. Pageants, garden shows and even operettas were also held here.

The British Newspaper Archive lists countless events at the Old Drill Hall throughout the 20th century. At Barnstaple Rural District Council on 21 March, 1912, Dr. Manning applied for a license for stage plays at the Drill Hall.

Reported in The North Devon Journal on 6 May 1915, the Belgian Relief Committee met here. On March 9, 1925, the Drill Hall hosted a miniature shooting match between Barnstaple and Combe Martin.

In April 1931, Messrs. Sanders and Son, Barnstaple, conducted a successful sale of accommodation, lands and building sites at the Drill Hall. Dances, meetings and concerts were held at this venue throughout World War II.
