“Immerse yourself in the beautifully decorated rooms and slip back in time to experience the holiday spirit of the 1870s,” PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation education and programming officer Caitlyn Paxson said. “This is truly a magical time of year and this event is a great opportunity to enjoy the holiday season.”

Attendees can enjoy activities including: a live harp concert; learn the origins of Christmas customs with the history of Christmas talk; a tour of the Beaconsfield House; create a holiday keepsake; treats and hot beverages; enter a draw for a baby heritage Christmas cactus at the end of each show; and a chance to purchase locally-made gifts at the Carriage Craft Fair.

Tickets are available online at PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation or in-person at Beaconsfield Historic House for $18+HST per person.
