ARTS | CULTURE | HERITAGE | ENVIRONMENT

Standing proudly over falls that were harnessed by pioneering settlers 130 years ago, the Alton Mill is now a vibrant arts centre featuring art studios, galleries, a heritage museum, café and unique specialty shops.

The magnificent restoration, completed in 2009, earned the Heritage Canada Foundation's national achievement award for adaptive reuse. The melding of thick stone walls and timber structure with modern architectural elements make the Alton Mill the perfect venue for art lovers from every walk of life.

Discover painters, potters & printmakers, jewellery, glass & textile artists and galleries featuring contemporary Canadian and international art. You can buy a gift or a work of art for your home, or exercise your own creative juices in our many classes and workshops ranging from acrylic or encaustic painting, to pottery or jewellery making. You can even go for a hike on the Bruce trail that meanders through the property. All in an idyllic waterside setting, less than an hour northwest of downtown Toronto.

PRIVATE EVENT BOOKINGS - meetings, events & banquets!

The Alton Mill is also an ideal location for a private party, meeting or event.

Imagine your guests or colleagues in a restored historic building filled with beautiful art, set on a millpond with spectacular views of the surrounding Caledon Hills.

Whether you're looking for an inspiring setting for corporate meetings, workshops or presentations, or for an elegant backdrop for a wedding, private party or fundraiser, the Alton Mill offers a variety of unique indoor and outdoor spaces to host your next event, including the Millrace Room, Waterfall Courtyard and the spectacular waterfall viewing platform.

Space is available for meetings or events from 8 people to 120 people indoors or even more outdoors under a marquee tent. Whether you need one room or a variety of spaces, the Alton Mill provides a creative venue limited only by your imagination.
