And yes the ticket price has gone up. It had to. EVERYTHING has gone up in price over the past two years especially food costs. We have also increased the amount we are paying the artists – and they’re worth every penny – to help offset the past two years of hardship they have suffered due to COVID. When you consider the fact that a delicious full course dinner is included, some of the proceeds are going to help out local charities/good causes and the quality of the artists – truly Canada’s best – and being able to see them in the small, friendly, intimate setting of The Cove BOTR is still one of the best entertainment values in the country!
ADVANCE RESERVATIONS REQUIRED for all shows.
Call The Cove 613-273-3636 or email thecoveinnwestport@gmail.com
