Have any items tucked away that are collectable, unusual, historical, or antique? Want to know more about them, including what they’re worth? Bring them down to the 10^th Annual Antiques Roadshow and Heritage Fair on Saturday, February 19^th. This major fundraising event will be held at the Sunnycrest Mall in Gibsons from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm. Fascinating and valuable items have been “discovered” in the past. Will your item be the next big discovery?

Qualified appraisers generously donate their time and expertise to appraise a variety of items including paintings, stamps and coins, silver, jewelry, rare books, collectables, china, military items and much more.  Appraisals will be limited to a maximum of 3 items per person so that as many participants as possible can be seen. Admission is free but an appraisal will cost $10 for 1 item, $15 for 2 items, and $20 for 3 items.

There will be heritage displays by the Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives as well Sechelt Archives, Egmont Heritage Center and the Pender Harbour Living Heritage Society. We will also have a selection of items from the Museum Gift Shop for sale – Seedling Creativity Kits for kids, Boat Crafts, books, vintage postcards and more.

This is a major fundraising event for the Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives, and all proceeds support Museum services and programs. Donations are also greatly appreciated or you can purchase a museum membership and receive our bi-annual newsletter.
