Victorian Christmas Tea with Ghost Stories
Saturday, December 13, 4pm-7pm
$60 admission

Join us for an afternoon tea and an evening of Christmas bright and Christmas fright!

In 19th century England, it was a Christmas tradition to huddle around the fire with the family and spin yarns of spirits and spooks while celebrating the holiday season. Woodruff-Fontaine believes nothing says "Victorian Era" like an afternoon tea and nothing says "Victorian Christmas" like listening to tales of ghostly encounters.

Please join us as we celebrate our version of a very Victorian Christmas. The event will begin with a proper afternoon tea, followed by an evening of Yuletide ghost stories! Guests will be served a lovely assortment of holiday savories and sweets, including scones and clotted cream, warm cider, hot cocoa and an array of teas. Afterward, we will gather in the grand ballroom to listen as the lore of ancient Christmas legends come to life.

To top off the evening's Victorian Yuletide festivities, guests will be treated to a stroll of the Woodruff Fontaine mansion, bedecked in her most splendid Christmas grandeur and finery.

Seating is limited, so be sure to reserve early!
