My…read moreKiwanis club rents the upstairs lounge once a year to host the Buy Nothing Day Free Market in November for example. A pottery group rents the hall upstairs for their events. Helen is the wonderful woman who takes care of the building and she is wonderful. If she's unavailable or has to step out she'll leave contact information for someone more local to the hall in case you need anything. Helen is good at making sure that snow is cleared from walkways etc. as best as can be as quickly as possible given a major snowstorm. The hall is a little bit difficult to access if you're unfamiliar with it, but it has ample free parking, is close to transit and major roadways and is within walking distance of many facilities in the Old Strathcona area. I'm really fond of some of the more recent upgrades to the upstairs lounge: the improved lighting makes it much more of a wonderful area to host events, for example.

This building reminds me of Boston. Big, old, red brick. Exactly how the Community League in…read moreStrathcona should be! I was here attending/helping at an under 40 mixer event in the big room upstairs. It's got wooden floors and mirrors across one wall, so I think it must be used for exercise classes and things of that nature, too. I'm sure there's much more to explore in this big ol' building since it's HUGE. Gotta give props to its sweet location, plenty of parking, and the playground nearby. The perfect family-friendly place for this neighbourhood.

This venue is wonderful for any small- to mid- sized events. The hall is a good size and the…read morewashrooms have several stalls. There's an assortment of tables and chairs that are included when you rent. One feature of the hall that people may not like is that one of the walls is covered in mirroring. As someone who is incredibly vain, I didn't mind it but I can see how it might not be other people's cup of tea. The rest of the walls are just regular white brick. What is really great about this hall is the management. They are so kind and understanding about any concerns. We were allowed to use the kitchen (provided we weren't using the stoves) without incurring any extra cost, which was awesome because we had so many desserts that needed to be kept in the fridge until the event started. I highly recommend this venue if you are holding an event. It's more reasonably priced than a lot of the other halls out there and the management is so laid back and helpful.

I was here recently for an Edmonton NextGen event and it was nice to set foot into this space for…read morethe first time in ages. I hadn't been here in quite some time. I like the fact that this building houses both the City of Edmonton Archives (on the second floor) and also includes a lot of beautiful rental space. It's pretty awesome how versatile this space can be for hosting events. And being greeted when I arrived by the door with people willing to provide directions to the event I was seeking was pretty awesome. I am quite happy that that happened and the area outside the event space was beautiful and well lit while we awaited the event. I liked seeing some of the more historic building touches as we awaited the event (for example the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II). The historic facility is beautifully well maintained and has some great facility touches. I would definitely recommend the space for special event rentals.

There are museums in the building, that all of our guests could enjoy. The price was also very reasonable, and we were able to bring our own food in. Sometimes I find with some City of Edmonton facilities you have to use a recommended caterer, but we were able to choose our own. I deduct one star because a few of our guests who arrived late were in a bit of a pickle trying to find parking, but there is a lot of parking, and it is free. Highly recommend using this space for business meetings.

I came here last week for the first time to attend my husband's 25th high school reunion…read more There was ample parking - always good for a large group! Especially when many people will struggle with just walking upright by the end ;-) The space we had the reunion in was open with vaulted ceilings with a large balcony. The washrooms were also clean the entire night - bonus! The staff (food/liquor) were friendly and easy to find. We had both chef stations (sautéed giant shrimp on bruschetta were my fave) and hor d'oeuvres throughout the evening. We ordered a bottle of champagne to share with our table and the bartender came over to serve it to us and offered to keep it on ice at his station. Without even asking, he would reappear silently to refill our glasses. I wish I had asked his name because he was phenomenal! My only complaint was the lack of seating and volume of the dj/band but I'm guessing those were both choices by the reunion committee. I'm definitely looking forward to the next time I have an event here or any reason to come back and check 'em out.

So know where you are going first if you are seeing an evening space. It is a more intimate space for smaller productions and we have enjoyed many plays there. Recently we watched The Best Newfoundland Pageant Ever. They have a little concession and you can bring your drinks and snacks inside. However, it is cash only! So bring your change. For this production, I actually had a broken foot, and the staff were super helpful in finding me a comfortable seat. Kudos to you!

This venue is used extensively during the Edmonton Fringe Festival. It's been host of the popular Late Night Cabaret for the last few years. But, also is used during the rest of the year for other shows. The venue lay-out changes with what is being shown. But I have yet to find a bad seat in the house. It also features clean flush toilets, air conditioning and sells alcohol. (All important features during fringe.) The bar is cash only and no ATM on site.

I cannot WAIT for next year - it keeps getting better and more crazy every year! (Though it may outgrow Festival Place by then haha!)
