CELEBRATE IN BRITANNIA VILLAGE

Holiday trips to the snow are an essential part of life in Sea to Sky Country and this year, travellers have a new best place to stop along the way at Britannia Village. With restaurants, shops, EV chargers, and the nicest public washrooms between the city and the skiing, it’s the first and best place to stop when travelling on Highway 99 from Vancouver. Visit our map and hours page to see our full list of shops, amenities, and services along with their hours for the holiday season!

This spring, exciting changes are coming to Britannia Village with new ownership taking over operations of the Copper Beach Bar & Kitchen space at 101 Main Street. Over the next weeks, they’ll be renovating room and creating the new menus in preparation for a spring reopening–just in time for cherry blossoms and patio days. Everyone at Britannia Village would like to thank the Copper Beach and IRL teams for the warm welcomes and service to the community over the last months and we look forward to unveiling an exciting new destination for locals and visitors in Sea to Sky Country. Stay tuned to the Britannia Village Instagram account for all the latest news and updates.  

  The Sea to Sky Gallery is getting ready to welcome the holiday season Mexican style with a  Navideña celebration from Saturday, December 13th to Wednesday, December 31st. The gallery will be open daily from noon until starlight, and everyone is invited to stop by to enjoy the warmth of the Guanajuato holiday festivities which date back over 250 years. They’ll be offering Mexican-style hot chocolate on the patio, along with music and original photography in the gallery all season long. The gallery is located on the ground floor of the Britannia Village Community Hall at 105 Church Street. Learn more by visiting their Facebook page or Instagram and be sure to stop by during the holiday season!  

  On Saturday, August 23rd, under glorious sunny skies, Britannia Village was joined by friends from up and down the Sea to Sky corridor to celebrate its grand opening. After a welcome from representatives of the Squamish Nation and the unveiling of specially-commissioned carvings by Jim Charlie, Macdonald Communities President Robert J Macdonald cut the ribbon to declare the village open. With music, games, and family-friendly activities all afternoon, Britannia Village threw open its doors and welcomed hundreds of first time visitors to explore and enjoy this unique and special place.
