Grain Elevator

Set within Portage's Celery Flats Historical Area, the Grain Elevator offers an intimate setting for organisers planning a meeting, birthday party, graduation celebration, small wedding reception or other private gathering. Built in 1931, this restored historic building brings a distinctive, rustic character to events that call for something more personal than a standard function room.

The venue is available to hire throughout the year and can accommodate up to 80 people on its first floor. Organisers have access to 12 tables and 60 chairs, along with heating and electricity. The room works well for a seated gathering, a meeting or a relaxed celebration, and its surroundings in the historic area provide a memorable setting for guests.

There are practical details to consider when planning. The building has no air conditioning, kitchen or on-site toilets, so organisers should arrange refreshments separately and check nearby restroom availability for their event date. Renters are responsible for cleaning up and returning the furniture to its proper place. Use of the venue is subject to the City's rental rules, including the evening quiet-time limit.

Reservations can be made up to a year ahead through the City of Portage's facility booking service. The Grain Elevator is a good fit for event planners seeking a characterful, modestly sized space in Portage for a private occasion or meeting, with the convenience of tables, chairs, heat and electricity already provided.
