2026 A Mail Order Christmas

Christmas comes alive this season through immersive experiences!

Before the internet, holiday shopping in rural BC was driven by catalogue sales. Flip through the pages of antique and vintage reproduction catalogues.  Visit Father Christmas in his cozy home, pinprick an Edwardian Christmas card, and watch an immersive 30-minute play showing what true gift giving is about. Regular admission rates apply.

Activities – 11AM – 3PM
– Explore the General Store and our collection of holiday catalogues
– Sip apple cider around the fire
– Visit Father Christmas in his home
– Try your hand at Edwardian Christmas card punching

Immersive Theatre – 11:30AM, 1PM, 2PM
A tale of true gift giving for all ages. 30-minute runtime. Free with admission, limited capacity. Reserve your spot online. (Online registration will be made available starting November 1st).
