GREAT WAYS TO CELEBRATE VALENTINE’S DAY IN LONDON ONTARIO
Please be sure to check the dates below. A few activities are scheduled for Saturday the 15th instead of Friday the 14th.
COUPLES’ SKATING AT STORYBOOK GARDENS
Surprise your sweetheart with a Couples Skate at Storybook Gardens on Valentine’s Day, February 14th!
Our refrigerated 250 metre skating trail is a beautiful spot to enjoy an outdoor winter skate. This event is for adults only (18+). Take a leisurely skate along the trail as it winds through the trees and snowbanks, while enjoying the festive lighting and soft music playing over the park-wide sound system.
Following your skate, warm up next to the campfire with a Beavertails pastry and two hot beverages from our rink-side Beavertails concession area.
Each ticket is valid for two adult admissions, one Beavertail pastry (for sharing!) and two hot beverages (hot chocolate, apple cider, french cappucino or coffee).
This is a ticketed event; pre-registration is required. Tickets will not be available at the door. You can get your sweetheart skate tickets here.
Skate rentals are not included with admission but are available for an additional 6.50/pair; we have both figure skates and hockey skates available in a variety of sizes up to a men’s 13. Skate rentals are first-come, first-served.
ELDON HOUSE’S DEADLY AUCTION
$95.00 incl. HST
Murder Mystery Fundraiser Dinner
Friday, February 14, 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.
Eldon House Interpretive Centre
Registration Required | Registration Policy
Join us for a Murder Mystery Dinner by Gumshoe Mysteries – the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day!
Cost includes a dinner by the In Home Chef. This event will be licensed and will have a cash bar. Please arrive promptly at the main entrance of Eldon House. We will begin with a brief walk through the main house before entering our Interpretive Centre. Costume suggestions: International dress or formal attire.
This event is a fundraiser and proceeds will go towards renovating our kitchen to ensure the continuation of our education and programming events.
Eldon House patrons are invited to a special auction at the museum! The scene is a high scale international auction of rare antiques.
Most interest centres around a peculiar item with a cursed history. Characters include a seven times married woman looking for a number eight, an African anthropologist crazy about monkeys, and a Turkish mercenary who can’t find the right end of a sword.
All the characters need a lot of money for one reason or another and alliances are formed and then broken until devilishly clever events reveal a solution that will have you going once, twice, sold!
Costumes are welcomed and encouraged. Guests are invited to participate in a silent auction.
Performance by Gumshoe Mysteries.

CLAY DATE AT ANDERSON CRAFT ALES
Cheers! Make a drinking vessel out of clay at Anderson Craft Ales
Looking for something different to do around Valentine’s Day? Join instructors from the Hutton House Pottery Studio for a fun experience at Anderson Craft Ales. Bring your favourite someone along (or just yourself) to make a unique drinking vessel out of a slab of clay and decorate it.
We’ll bring your handmade vessel back to the Hutton House Pottery Studio to be fired and glazed, and it will be ready to be picked up 2 weeks after the workshop.
There are two ticket options. Each option includes one drinking vessel per person and one beer (or non alcoholic drink).
Date: Saturday February 15, 2020
Time:1pm-3pm
Location: taproom mezzanine at Anderson Craft Ales
Ticket Options:
$90 per couple (total includes tax and 2 beers)

Proceeds from tickets sold support Hutton House’s innovative programs for people with disabilities. If you have any questions, contact Kate at [email protected] or call 519-472-6381.
FAQS:
1) Working with clay can get a bit messy. None of the materials used will leave a stain but you will get some clay on your clothes so don’t dress in your best duds!
2) Non alcoholic drinks are available if you choose not to drink beer.
