It has one of the most beautiful views, and one of the most photographed houses in the North Okanagan.
Throw in art, music, and delectable scones, and how can you miss a great event at the Fintry Manor House?
The Fintry Fusion Art Show and Sale, and Strawberry Cream Tea, will take place at the manor house Saturday and Sunday, June 21 and 22.
"It's a truly special day of art, nature, music, and delicious treats," said event spokesperson Elizabeth MacArthur.
This unique event is free to attend, with strawberry cream tea featuring a homemade scone, fresh strawberries with cream and your choice of coffee or tea – for only $7. You can also purchase a comforting bowl of soup with a fresh bun, perfect for a relaxing lunch with a view and live music.
All proceeds from the food and beverage sales support the Friends of Fintry Provincial Park Society, a passionate volunteer group dedicated to preserving the history and charm of this spectacular Fintry Manor House.
The 116-year-old home is an architectural gem that offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the British gentry in early 20th century Canada. While you’re there, don’t miss the impressive Trophy Room, full of fascinating artifacts and stories.
When you step inside the magnificent structure, you will find 10 artists with their artwork on display throughout the house.
"Their work ranges in captivating styles and mediums, from etchings, oils, acrylics to landscapes, wildlife, whimsy, and portraits," said MacArthur. "Whether you’re an art lover, a curious browser, or a collector, there’s something for everyone."
Once you’ve enjoyed the art and your scone, take in the natural beauty of the area. Stroll the grounds, or hike the scenic trail up to the waterfall for a perfect end to a perfect day.
Fintry Fusion Art Show and Sale, and Strawberry Cream Tea runs June 21, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and June 22, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Fintry Manor House in Fintry Provincial Park.
