Victorian Christmas

Come experience the traditions of Christmas as enjoyed by Queen Victoria’s soldiers and their families at the 35th Annual Victorian Christmas at the Halifax Citadel. See how the soldier's celebrated the season in the barracks and in the field, meet Father Christmas, find out what a 19th century Christmas tree looked like, and let the Schoolmaster entertain you with a seasonal Magic Lantern show. There will be parades with Father Christmas, games, campfires and plenty of guest performers including choirs, musicians, and dancers, with performances in both the chilly winter air and in the warmth of a casemate. Drop by the Coffee Bar and treat yourself to a hot apple cider and tasty treat. 12 noon to 4:00 p.m. both days.
