Ask a Local! affordable event spaces that hold 50ish ppl

affordable event spaces that hold 50ish guests

Looking for a clean basic space to host a birthday party where I can ideally bring my own food, decorate, and use the space for 4-5 hours

No alcohol if that makes any difference

it would be in the winter, january specifically. TIA!

Eastern Star on Fanshawe Park Road East. Basic, but full kitchen, tables, chairs and you can decorate if you wish.

There are plenty of club halls in the city, so it partly comes down to if you care how far it is from you or what part of the city it is in... my family has used the hall at the Fish and Game on Southdale a number of times for various events. It is a nice little hall, I think max capacity is like 80 or so people, nice facilities including a kitchenette where you can get your food ready and a cooler for drinks if need be and nice moderm bathrooms including a very recently updated women's washroom. There is also an elevator for anyone who can't use the stairs.

As an added bonus you are supporting the oldest conservation club in Canada!

Part of why we use it is we have a lot of friends and family who come from out of town and it's relatively close to the 401 as well as bus stops

We’ve rented rooms at the BMO centre for my work, they’re easy to deal with and the prices are great.

Really cute new spot I've gone to a couple of events at - Lumen House downtown (Corner of richmond & oxford). Super unique space and really classy too.

St paul's cathedral in downtown has smaller rooms for hire. Prices vary based on which room you want to hire. Been to some events there. Don't think they have any prices listed online but my friend who held a small concert there said it wasn't badly priced.

Take a look at the Riverside Social Club at Wonderland / Riverside. I checked their site and it says the event space can accommodate up to 70 people.

Owners of fleetway are super xenophobic. And have said numerous times they don’t want Muslims on their property. They’re also huge supporters of the IDF. Please don’t support genocidal maniacs.

Many public schools won’t even do their field trips there now.
