You are cordially invited to High Tea on the verandah of the Big House at Lower Fort Garry Historic Site.
Dress in your Sunday finest, hats and fascinators encouraged, to dine on the verandah at the Big House, just like they did in 1851!
Have your choice of four exclusive tea blends (created just for Friends of Lower Fort Garry) and feast on tea sandwiches, sweet and savory pastries, and a variety of blended teas. We have partnered this year with local bakeries and caterers to create a local, fresh, and delicious menu.
Your ticket gives you full access to the site, historic buildings and activities, as well as the food and tea, and to the bespoke gift shop!
Sundays, July 5, 19 and August 9, 2026! Two sittings per day (11am & 2pm)!
This event has sold out for the past three years – so get your tickets asap!
