Heritage Hall, the 1931 octagon building on the Beachburg fairgrounds, with its red roof and green and pine board siding

Heritage Hall

A one-of-a-kind octagon venue on the Beachburg fairgrounds, available year-round for weddings, reunions, and community events.

A building unlike anything else in the Valley

Nestled in the small, quiet community of Beachburg, Heritage Hall has graced the fairgrounds since 1931. The building's eight-sided octagon design is rare in Ontario. Its soaring cathedral ceiling, post-and-beam timber frame, and rustic pine board interior create a warmth and character that purpose-built event spaces rarely achieve.

The hall is part of the Beachburg Agricultural Society fairgrounds, home of the Beachburg Fair since 1857. It serves the community year-round, as the location of exhibit displays during fair week, and as a rental venue for private and community events throughout the rest of the year.

  • Weddings & receptions

    The hall's timber frame and warm pine interior make a natural backdrop for ceremonies and receptions. Indoor space with access to the fairgrounds outdoors.

  • Family reunions

    Plenty of space and parking, a central Ottawa Valley location, and the character of a building that's been part of the community for nearly a century.

  • Community events

    Meetings, fundraisers, workshops, markets, and local gatherings. The Society has hosted community events on these grounds for over 170 years.

  • Celebrations & milestones

    Anniversaries, retirement parties, stag and does, birthdays, and other milestones. A venue with real history behind it, not a hotel ballroom.

More than just the hall

The Beachburg fairgrounds extends well beyond Heritage Hall. The show rings, open-air spaces, and the grounds themselves are available for larger gatherings, outdoor markets, and events that need room to breathe, including the annual Beachburg Fibrefest each September.

Whether you need just the hall or the full grounds, get in touch and we'll work out what fits your event.
