The Weston Hall.
Weston Progress League chairman Derek McGee said the group was "absolutely overwhelmed" to receive a $205,000 grant from the New Zealand Lottery Grants Board.
That was about two-thirds of the money required for the work, which included replacing the toilets, supper room and kitchen.
The plans had already been approved.
It was expected work would start in the middle of March, and it was hoped to have it completed before winter.
The hall was well used, Mr McGee said.
