The Alton Mill is a magnificently restored stone building complex, now a creative arts centre featuring over 20 accomplished artists and artisans working in their own studios, plus three galleries, unique retail shops, a heritage exhibit, café and event space.
Located in the scenic Caledon Hills, twenty minutes north of Brampton and one hour north-west of downtown Toronto, the Alton Mill is easily accessible from the Greater Toronto Area, Guelph, Wellington and Dufferin Counties and Waterloo Region.
The melding of the heritage stone and timber structure with modern architectural elements earned the mill the Heritage Canada Foundation’s National Heritage Achievement Award in 2009. The mill's beauty and relaxed atmosphere, with the sound of falling water, makes it an inspiring place to work for creative people ranging from painters to potters, and jewelery designers to floral designers. The mill is also a unique “industrial-chic” venue for weddings, corporate events, workshops and other private functions.
