Chistmases Past Festival at Boloquoy Victorian Farm

Charity Chistmas Past Festival

Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th December

The house will be festooned with Victorian & Edwardian seasonal decoration. The kitchen and dairy will be resplendent with period 1950s Christmas dressing. We are delighted to present the original antique decorations and gifts found at Boloquoy, along with an extensive private collection of decorations and ephemera spanning over 100 years between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries.

Our tour will guide guests through Christmases past from its pagan origins, through Victorian popularism to its increasing commercialisation post war, with special attention to Orcadian seasonal traditions. Exciting features include a very special display dedicated to the Christmas truce of 1914. Homemade mead, mince pies and shortbread will be served.

Booking is COMPLETELY FREE using this link. However, we would ask gests to make a minimum donation of £10 (cash) per person to our collection which will be divided between Scotland’s Air Ambulance and the Royal British Legion.
