Journey Through Time
Step into stories that blur the lines between then and now
Set the mood for your exploration
We've put together experiences that honestly feel like nothing else you'll find around here
Dec - Feb
There's something magical about gathering around the great hall fireplace when it's freezing outside. Hot mead, storytelling sessions, and our chef does this incredible roasted feast that'll warm you right up.
Mar - May
Garden walks become pretty special once everything blooms. We do herb workshops where you'll actually make stuff to take home, and the May Day celebrations? Yeah, they get a bit rowdy in the best way.
Jun - Aug
Long days mean evening banquets under the stars. We set up the courtyard with lanterns and torches, bring in musicians, and honestly? It feels like you've stepped through a portal to another century.
Sep - Nov
Harvest feasts are our jam. We source everything locally and the menu changes based on what's fresh. Plus our Halloween masquerade ball? Book early 'cause it sells out every single year.
Look, we could call it 'fine dining' but that doesn't really capture it. This is a proper medieval feast - think long tables, courses that keep coming, and you're probably gonna eat with your hands at some point.
Each dish tells a story. Our chef's really into historical recipes but makes 'em work for modern tastes.
Minstrels, jesters, sometimes sword demonstrations. Depends on the night, really.
Wanna go full immersion? We've got garments you can borrow. No judgment if you don't though.
These are the experiences our guests keep talking about long after they've checked out
Our guide Thomas knows stories about this city that aren't in any guidebook. You'll hit historic sites, hidden spots, and probably end up at a century-old pub. Tours run rain or shine - we're in Vancouver, after all.
Ever tried writing with a quill? It's harder than it looks but super satisfying. You'll learn basic calligraphy and illuminate your own manuscript page. Great for rainy afternoons and you actually create something cool to take home.
Turns out there's a proper technique to this whole Robin Hood thing. Our instructor Sarah's competed nationally and she'll have you hitting targets in no time. Way more fun than it sounds, trust me.
Our cellar's pretty impressive - stone walls, candlelight, the whole deal. You'll taste BC wines paired with artisan cheeses while learning way more about viticulture than you expected. It's intimate, relaxed, and honestly one of my favourite things we do here.
Medieval medicine meets modern herbalism. You'll make your own salves, tinctures, and tea blends using traditional methods. Fair warning - you might leave here wanting to start your own apothecary garden.
Before light pollution ruined everything, people really knew their stars. You'll learn how medieval astronomers navigated and predicted seasons, then we'll use modern telescopes to see what they saw. Weather dependent, obviously.
We're always cooking up something new. Some experiences run year-round, others are seasonal or one-time events. The calendar below shows what's actually available - no surprises when you try to book.
We'll confirm within 2 hours during business hours
Real feedback from people who've done these experiences
"The banquet was absolutely wild. I mean that in the best way possible - we ate like kings, the entertainment was hilarious, and everyone at our table became friends by the end of the night. Totally doing this again."
"Thomas made the heritage tour so engaging. He's got stories for days and knows every hidden corner of Vancouver's history. We were supposed to go for 3 hours and ended up going almost 4 because nobody wanted it to end."
"Didn't think I'd be into arch
