Take a walk on the wild side at Royal BC Museum


Victoria, BC — Romance will be in the air, but you don’t need to be attached to explore the allure of instinct, passion and love at the Royal BC Museum’s special evening event: Night Shift: Wild Romance.


Guests will be treated to an evening of music, performances and adult-only activities for both singles and couples sure to get the heart racing. Following on the heels of a sell-out 2015 19+ event, this year’s evening is even bigger and better. As with all Night Shift events, ticket-holders are free to explore as private guests of the Royal BC Museum during this after-hours event.

Night Shift: Wild Romance will be a feast for the senses, with no shortage of lively entertainment. Guests can take part in dance lessons, watch local dance troupe Passion and Performance strut their stuff, tantalize their taste buds at a Purdys Chocolate’s taste testing station, laugh through performances by Paper Street Theatre, get hands on with The Makehouse to design some hand-stitched valentines, take part in a scavenger hunt and so much more.

Throughout the evening Royal BC Museum collection managers and curators will also present Sex Talks with Scientists, where guests will learn all kinds of juicy information about the wild side of mating and reproduction. And in Old Town, a Victorian bride will undress to reveal all the padding and enhancements underneath the ornate fashion of the era.

This romantic night also offers a cash bar and sweet and savoury hors d’oeuvres for sale from Truffles Catering, along with a photo booth from The Bay Centre.

Night Shift: Wild Romance is Saturday, Feb. 13, 2016, 8 pm to 12 pm. You must be 19 years or older. Photo ID is required for entry.

Tickets are $35 each (10 per cent discount for members) and available online at www.royalbcmuseum.ca<http://www.royalbcmuseum.ca> or in person at the Royal BC Museum’s box office. Get your tickets soon as Night Shift events sell out early.
