Overview

The famous Victorian writer Louisa May Alcott once said, "life is my college. May I graduate well, and earn some honors!" Well Vaucluse House is offering you the chance to earn some by taking a trip back in time to experience life in the Victorian era at Vintage Sundays — Victorian.

No 19th century stone is being left unturned, with authentic activities of the time available for enjoyment throughout the day including the slapstick puppet classic Punch and Judy, skittles and croquet on the lawn for Victorian sport aficionados, and waltz classes for anyone wanting to just feel as opulent as Queen Victoria herself. There will also be historical tours and discussions held across the property and live soprano and piano performances will aptly soundtrack the day, so you really can take your pick of what to do. Whatever you do though, make sure to try the hot cider punch being brewed on the day in the kitchens.

The event is part of Vintage Sundays, which are held at different historical sites around Sydney on selected Sundays.
