Accepted Answer

Your Eventbrite ticket confirmation will include the addresses of all six venues. Please begin your tour at the starting address you selected when purchasing your ticket(s). You’ll also find the addresses and a route map on the Heritage New West website so you can plan your tour in advance.

Question 4

Can I bring my children on the tour?

Accepted Answer

To help protect the homes and their sometimes fragile decorations, the tour is best suited to guests aged 12 and older. All attendees must have a paid ticket, and we’re unable to accommodate children under 12. Thank you for your understanding.

Question 5

Why do I need to choose a starting home when purchasing my tickets?

Accepted Answer

Choosing a starting home helps spread arrivals across the six venues and avoid line-ups. Many homes are within easy walking distance of one another, making it easy to visit them all within the three-hour tour. After the first home, you may visit the remaining locations in any order you choose.

Question 6

Are the homes accessible to people with mobility challenges?

Accepted Answer

The tour takes place in private residences and a historic museum, so accessibility may vary. If you have mobility concerns, please contact Heritage New West at newwestheritage@gmail.com  before purchasing your tickets.

Question 7

How long do I have to complete the tour?

Accepted Answer

The tour runs for three hours, from 4:30 to 7:30 PM., giving you three hours to comfortably visit all six venues.

Question 8

Is parking available at the homes?

Accepted Answer

Street parking is available at each venue. Four of the homes are within four square blocks in Queen’s Park, so you may wish to park once and walk between them. Please be considerate of residents and keep driveways clear.

Question 9

Do I need to remove my shoes when touring the homes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. To protect the floors, visitors are asked to remove their shoes and tour the private residences in socks. Disposable booties will be available if you prefer not to go in socks. Shoes can remain on when visiting Irving House Museum.

Question 10

Are tickets refundable if I can no longer attend?

Accepted Answer

We appreciate your support of Heritage New West. As event expenses are committed in advance and cannot be recovered, all Homes for the Holidays Tour ticket sales are final. Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer refunds or credits for cancellations or non-attendance. Thank you for your understanding.
