Royal Victorian Party

At the Historic Stewart Farm

You are cordially invited to attend Queen Victoria's birthday
celebration at the Historic Stewart Farm, Sunday, May 19, from Noon to 3
pm! 

 

Queen Victoria was born on May 24, 1819. She is Britain's
longest-reigning monarch, serving as our Queen from 1837 - 1901. To
honour her hard-work and dedication to the British Empire, Canada has
set aside the Monday closest to May 24 as a holiday, called Victoria
Day. The Historic Stewart Farm is happy to keep with this tradition, and
has planned many fun activities for families during the "Royal Victorian
Party." 

 

Visitors are invited to bring a picnic to enjoy on the scenic grounds.
They will be treated to tea and lemonade in the garden, tours through
the Farm House given by volunteers in period costume, and an array of
fun games such as croquet, badminton, and sack races. Children are
encouraged to come dressed as kings and queens. They will have the
opportunity to make their own crown, among other royalty-themed crafts
and activities. 

 

Children, don't forget to bring your manners, as you will need them to
greet the Queen! The Queen will make appearances throughout the party to
help cut her birthday cake and take royal portraits with children and
families.

 

Don't miss the Vancouver Morris Men as they put on lively performances
between 1:00pm - 3:00pm! Morris Dancing is a traditional English folk
dance that dates back nearly 500 years. The dancers will be dressed in
the traditional white shirts and coloured ribbons, and will carry
hankies or sticks and wear bells on their legs to emphasize their
movements. See if you can spot the team mascot, usually a horse or other
animal, who sometimes accompanies the dancers.

 

The Historic Stewart Farm is located at 13723 Crescent Road in South
Surrey. Regular site hours are Tuesday to Friday, 10:00am to 4:00 pm and
Saturdays and Sundays, 12 noon to 4:00pm. Entrance is by donation. For
