The Arden Club, Inc. is the cultural umbrella group for many Gilds in the three Ardens: The Village of Arden, Ardentown, and Ardencroft. Activities take place in Gild Hall, which dates back to the 1850s when it was used as a barn for the Grubb farm. It was substantially renovated in 1910 as the Gild Hall. The grassy amphitheater of the Moonlight Theater sits to one side of Gild Hall, and the Shady Grove Amphitheater as well as the Arden Swim Club’s swimming pool sits behind Gild Hall. The center for Gild and Club activities is Gild Hall. Concerts and theater, meetings, dances, dinners, and community gatherings take place in Upper & Lower Gild Hall, Moonlight Theatre, and the Shady Grove. .
