Christmas in the Colony at Commissariat House

Here's something else to do this weekend: stop by Christmas in the Colony at Commissariat House!

This is an all ages event, Saturday and Sunday 11-4. Families are invited to kick off the Christmas season wandering the Commissariat House and grounds, enjoying hot Christmas pudding made right in their kitchen and participate in a variety of hands-on festive family activities related to 1830s St. John's!

Plus, on Saturday night there is a special feature: Commissariat By Candlelight  (7-9PM), where the house will come alive with the sounds, tastes and colourful characters of Christmas traditions of days gone by.
