Laurel Packinghouse Rental

The Laurel Packinghouse is a multi-purpose heritage building in the heart of Kelowna’s vibrant Cultural District, administered by the Kelowna Museums Society. It was built between 1917-1918, using bricks made locally from Knox Mountain clay. At that time, what is now Kelowna's Cultural District was packed with fruit warehouses, packinghouses, canneries, and a sawmill. Horses, boxcars, and trucks jostled for position on tracks and dirt roads.

Today, it houses the Okanagan Wine and Orchard Museum, supports a variety of educational museum programs, and anchors a unique outdoor museum, the Laurel Square. The unique and atmospheric rental hall welcomes thousands of guests every year for fundraisers, fairs, workshops, weddings, public gatherings and corporate events.

Kelowna Museums Society is offering a booking of Downtown Kelowna's premier rental venue. Rental is restricted to Monday to Thursday, between 9am and 5pm. The Laurel accommodates 300 guests for standing events and 250 for sit-down. Included with the rental is use and set up of furniture including rectangular and round tables, bar/bistro tables, and white folding chairs.
