Step into the spirit of the season at Hatley Castle for a two-day-only holiday experience on Saturday, December 12 and Sunday, December 13.
We are excited to welcome back Tally-Ho Carriage Tours to bring the charm of a horse-drawn carriage ride to Hatley Park. Begin your adventure with a 12-minute ride along College Drive, complete with jingle bells!
After your ride, warm up inside by the Castle’s grand fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate or spiced apple cider, play classic board games on the main floor, capture beautiful photos with your loved ones by the festive displays or take a 30-minute guided castle tour. There’s cozy castle fun for everyone! Come dressed up in your holiday finest, ugly sweaters, or matching pajamas - the dress code is up to you!
Whether you stay for an hour or make an afternoon of it, it’s the perfect way to create new holiday memories at one of Vancouver Island’s most iconic landmarks.
