Celebrate the Season at Dalnavert
The weather outside is frightful but being at Dalnavert is so delightful!
Want to learn about how Victorian families celebrated Christmas? Then join us on weekends starting December 7 for Deck the Halls of Dalnavert: A Victorian Christmas Tour, where you’ll learn about the explosion in popularity of Christmas in Victorian times, what modern traditions were invented, and what the game of snapdragon is (hint it’s dangerous).
Try your hand at creating a beautiful hand-made foraged wreath at our Wreath Making Workshop on December 5.
There’ll be free admission and family programming for a festive edition of Second Saturdays! On December 14th explore the house all decorated for the holidays and get into the holiday spirit with some crafts and parlour games!
Get into the Christmas spirit December 19-22 with A Christmas Carol with Ron Robinson. A longtime friend of Dalnavert and beloved radio host, Ron has been generously sharing his stylings of the classic Dickens tale with our guests every holiday season for over a decade.
Spend an afternoon on the shortest day of the year with Laurie McDougall of Velvetleaf Beadworks at our Solstice Crafting Circle.
Then after Christmas and into the New Year (December 27-29, January 2-5), we’ll be having some fun winter activities such as craft making, story reading, and our Deck the Halls tours as part of our Winter Break Programming!
