Facility Rentals
The Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre is an exciting venue for your next event. The space rents for $300 per event (up to 4 hours). This price includes access to the grounds, museum, and theatre. Our competitive rates compare favourably to other spaces of the same size and nature with the added benefit of a very unique atmosphere.
A non-refundable $100 deposit is required to hold a reservation and an additional fee of $50 per hour is charged on rentals outside of our public operating hours. Rental discounts of 10% are available for museum members.
THE FACILITY:
The Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre offers 6000 square feet of rentable space and can comfortably accommodate parties of more than 100 guests indoors. The museum also offers access to a warming kitchen, an operating kegerator (19L keg required) in a replica bar, bathroom facilities, a 30-seat theatre, and the incredible surrounding displays and exhibitions on Rossland’s history. The museum grounds offer beautiful mountain views, gardens, a covered gazebo, and many larger historical displays. Unlike many facilities, you are renting our space with full access to the museum attraction.
