Old Firehall Arts Centre

In 2003, Theatre Ancaster and The Hamilton All Star Jazz Band began creating an Arts Centre at The Old Firehall on Wilson Street in downtown Ancaster. The first phase of the project featured new heating and air conditioning, rehearsal space for the two arts organizations, and a small performance space for 75-100 people to showcase local talent on the weekends. The project was roundly supported by Ancaster Councilor Murray Ferguson, and funded in part by The Ontario Trillium Foundation.

The warmly decorated room holds an audience of 100 comfortably in soft seats and tables for four. The quietly lit lobby contains a bar featuring wine, beer and soft drinks along with light snacks.
