Relax with live local music from around the province, a glass* with friends, a tasting plate of local delicacies and the sun setting over the best view in the city.

A Taste of Home is an exclusive new evening experience of Newfoundland and Labrador’s signature cultural landmark, The Rooms, developed just for Come Home Year. Each ticket includes a tasting plate of local delicacies, a drink (alcholic or non), a takeaway memento box and an admission voucher to return during regular opening hours to view current exhibitions.

Music by Sherry Ryan. Sherry has been winning hearts across the country as one of Newfoundland’s finest singer-songwriters. Her highly anticipated fourth album, Wreckhouse, takes its name from her song ‘Stop The Trains’; a gem of a tune voted best song in the province by The 2018 People’s Choice Awards. She was also awarded 2018 Music NL Female Artist of the Year.

Tickets are $60 per person (10% discount for Rooms Members)

(*Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage choices available).

Fishing for Cod

For centuries, fishing for cod has played a vital role in the lives of the peoples of Newfoundland and Labrador. Generations of fishing men, women, and children made use of the land and sea to sustain them and spent their lives “making fish.”

Join us each day for an interpretive guided tour in one of our galleries. From the story of the cod fishery to visiting a current art exhibition to a Family Rainbow Tour, there is something for everyone.

Each tour is approximately 30–40 minutes and is included in the cost of admission. Free for Rooms members.

7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Join architects Philip Pratt, Charles Henley, and Paul Blackwood of PHB Group for an insightful and engaging conversation about the design journey behind The Rooms. Perched above St. John's, this architectural landmark—clad in local granite and wood, brushed aluminum, and sweeping glass—offers a stunning presence and panoramic views of the city and harbour below.

This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the minds behind the building’s bold and thoughtful design. Learn how vision, place, and materials came together to shape an enduring cultural icon.

Cost: $15 plus HST. 10% discount for Rooms members. Get your tickets online or by calling (709) 757-8090.
