It's Antiques Roadshow Time Again



Do you 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 11th Annual Antiques Roadshow and Heritage Fair on Saturday, February 25th. 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 $15 for 1 item, $20 for 2 items, and $25 for 3 items. A flat fee of $30 will be charged for a collection.

In celebration of BC Heritage Week, we are hosting a Heritage Fair with displays from the Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives, the Sechelt Archives, Pender Harbour Living Heritage Society and the Egmont Heritage Center. You can browse the on-site historical displays and learn about the various heritage organizations on the Coast.

All proceeds support Museum services and programs. Donations are greatly appreciated and by purchasing a museum membership you can enter a draw to win a gift pack valued at over $100 retail.

Attend this fun and informative event - learn about our local history and support the SCMA in our efforts to preserve, present, engage and inspire! For more information, please call us at 604.886.8232.
