Located amid white snowscapes, the Fenlands Banff Recreation Centre makes for a modern, multi-purpose venue. Equipped with a NHL-sized hockey rink, four sheets of curling ice rinks and a lounge to boot, this sleek facility is designed according to LEED standards. Also doubling up as a rental space for conferences and social events, the center has a concourse and meeting rooms that serve this purpose. Imposing mountain structures form a striking backdrop against this unique arena.

The Banff Centre truly strives to promote artistic talent. It nurtures and encourages upcoming artists, as well as exhibiting the work of artists from Canada and around the world. Musical concerts, like the Winter Concert Season series, dance performances and plays are just some of the events on its extensive schedule. Facilities include the beautiful intimate Margaret Greenham Theater and The Club, a cozy cabaret space. You can participate in several workshops, conduct research, meet like-minded individuals or simply witness some fine artistic performances. And once you're done absorbing all the artistic knowledge, give your body a treat.

Bentley Chamber Music Studio at The Banff Centre is a small, well-lit space designed for intimate concerts and performances. It seats up to one hundred people only, ensuring that patrons have an extremely up close and personal experience. During warm days in the summer, the studio can be opened out into a patio area.
