Plan Your Visit

With its unique blend of studios, galleries, shops, café and event spaces in a stunning setting, the Alton Mill is a wonderful escape. Here you can discover the perfect piece of art, hand-crafted objects in clay, glass, wood or fibre, and exquisite jewellery. Enjoy the ambiance of a spectacularly beautiful building and its fascinating heritage exhibit. Partake in an art class, take a hike in the woods, skate on the pond, or experience a delectable treat from the café. Join us for one of our seasonal events when all studios are open to the public, or check us out as a venue for your next corporate or social function. Stop by on a day trip or spend the night next door at the Millcroft Inn & Spa, and leave inspired by art, nature and heritage!

The main floor galleries, shops, café and heritage exhibit are all open, along with some studios  Wednesday through Sunday and Holiday Mondays,  10 am to 5pm.

Studio hours vary. If you are making a special trip to visit a particular studio (or to visit anyone on a normal Monday or a Tuesday), it is best to make an appointment in advance.

Scenic Routes

For a more  scenic route  to Alton from the south, we suggest you take Highway #10 north from Brampton. Turn left on Forks of the Credit Road, and wind your way up Caledon Mountain to just before the picturesque village of Belfountain. Turn right (north) onto Mississauga Road and wind your way past the Caledon Ski Club. Turn right onto Cataract Road and continue past the Trans Canada Trail entrance for the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park to the traffic light at Charleston Sideroad. Cross Charleston, at which point Cataract Road changes its name to Main Street, and continue past the Osprey Valley Golf Course to Alton. Turn left at the stop sign onto Queen Street. Continue for one block, then right onto Amelia Street where you will see the Alton Mill driveway on the left.
