If the big light shows feel like too much, Victorian Christmas Evening is the antidote. Historic Stewart Farm in South Surrey lights its 1890s farmhouse for one evening: gingerbread in the air, a harpist in the parlour, treats baked on the woodstove, lanterns to make in Stewart Hall, and Father Christmas waiting in the pole barn for photos. It’s free, and it’s lovely.
Victorian Christmas Evening is Saturday, December 5, 2026, from 4:00 to 7:00 PM.
