Your Table Is Ready Imagine, if you will, a long summer’s eve, the musky smell of a fire, smoke curling from the stone chimney of a little log house perched on a low hill. At the doorway of the cabin beckons a woman, the lady of the house, and she invites you into her home to a seat at her table to share the evening’s meal. Pickering Museum Village announces the introduction of Summer Solstice Suppers by reservation only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings from June 13 to 29. Guests at Summer Solstice Suppers will step back in time to enjoy an evening of nineteenth-century dining and leisure activities, hosted by the local “innkeeper” in her log home. Lively conversation about life in the 1830s backwoods of Pickering Township and culinary traditions and techniques will most certainly be on the menu! Those who wish can assist with meal preparation, and observe the variety of cooking implements being used in the hearth. While dinner is cooking, the innkeeper’s servants and friends will keep guests entertained with parlour games and outdoor amusements. Reservations include a choice of two multi-course meal options, featuring authentic recipes from the era, and served at the dining table in the log house. The evening begins at 6:30 pm and concludes at approximately 8:30 pm. Suppers are $45/person on Fridays and Saturdays, and $40/person on Sundays to a maximum of eight people per night. To book a place at the table, phone Pickering Museum Village at 905.683.8401. Solstice Suppers are not suitable for children under the age of 12. Pickering Museum Village is located 3 km east of Hwy 407, just off Hwy #7: Ten quick clicks from the center of the City of Pickering.
