Where Art, History and Good Company Come Together Beautifully

Turn your celebration into an experience your guests will never forget.

From milestone birthdays and anniversaries to intimate gatherings and elevated galas, the Alton Mill Arts Centre offers a one-of-a-kind setting to mark life’s special moments.

Surrounded by art, history, and the soothing sounds of the waterfall, your guests will experience an atmosphere that’s both elegant and relaxed. Our beautifully restored stone walls, exposed beams, and art-filled corridors create a backdrop that feels personal, distinctive, and full of character — no extra décor required.

Whether you’re hosting cocktails in the Courtyard or dinner and dancing in the Millrace Room, you’ll design an event that feels effortless and uniquely yours.

  • Beautiful gallery, historic building, views and stores. We had a lovely experience at the Caledon Music Festival that was held there. Just outstanding, memorable performances. We are looking forward to going again this summer!

  • Absolutely amazing experience. From the blacksmith to the amazing art and artists we were all smiles all the time and we continue to fill friends in on our great visit. We will return for sure preferably with friends to see the look on their faces. It's a must see.
