The critically acclaimed Elizabeth – Darcy is returning “home” to Campbell House for what is becoming a seasonal tradition!
This is a love story. This is a comedy. This is two women playing all the parts. This is the Jane Austen you love with a squeeze of lemon. This is you moving through a historic home with the story. This is you getting caught up, swept away, laughing out loud.

Back to normal…almost!

Back to normal…almost!

Campbell House is almost back to it’s regular 19th century look after almost two weeks of being wrapped in white vinyl for Scotiabank Nuit Blanche.

If something still seems out of place, that’s because it is! The front shutters have been removed for repainting. They’ll be back next week featuring a fresh coat of “Pitch Black” by Farrow & Ball.
