There’s lots to BOOOOOO – we mean DO at The Rooms!
Have a blast and get into the ghoulish spirit of Halloween with some of our spook-takular activities! Make some creepy-crawlies, spider webs, ghosts or masks at our self-guided craft stations.
There are friendly ghosts at The Rooms – how many can you find? Go on a ghost walk to see if you can count them all (some clues will be provided at the craft station). Enter your answer for a chance to win a prize!
Visit the theatre and check out a selection of short animations playing on a loop from the National Film Board collection. Each story teaches us about resilience and strength – even during scary Halloween Times! Total time is approximately 40 minutes

Fall in Love with Creativity!
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, join us to turn everyday fabric scraps into beautiful braided fabric wreaths. Inspired by our exhibition, Toby Rabinowitz’s A World Within a World, we’ll celebrate joy and creativity in everyday life while giving old materials a fresh, fabulous twist!
No experience needed - just bring your enthusiasm! Got fabric scraps you’d love to include? Bring them along! If not, we’ve got plenty to share.
Cost: $40 plus HST. 10% discount for Rooms members. Register online or by calling 709-757-8090. This workshop is for ages 16 and up.
Join us for an inspiring afternoon highlighting the artists who captured the spirit of the 2025 Canada Summer Games—live and on location. While athletes competed across St. John’s, a volunteer collective of artists worked quickly with pen, paint, and pastels as they documented the energy of competition and community in real time.
This event offers a behind-the-scenes look at their creative process, from the challenges of drawing in motion to the thrill of finding the perfect line amid the action. You’ll hear first-hand stories from the field—weather swings, crowded venues, and the art of working fast—alongside selections from sketchbooks and paintings created during the Games.
Whether you’re an art lover, Games fan, aspiring sketcher or a curious community member, this session promises insight, inspiration, and practical tips for drawing in public spaces.
Tickets: $12 plus HST. Free for Rooms members. Get your tickets online or by calling 709-757-8090.
