Kick back on the 2nd floor balcony and watch the parade of miners and merchants as they go about their typical day in a Gold Rush town. Wave to the folks coming by on the stage and get the best view in town for daily street theatre.
Great conversations, ahhhhh hot tea, and games for all ages create a lively atmosphere in the parlour in the evenings. Curl up with a good book from our guest library.
Breakfast is served a la carte at our huge "boarding house reach" dining table on fine china - an elegant start to your exciting day.

Hallowe'en Ghostly Town Tour
Each year Barkerville's Ghostly Town Tour attracts visitors from the entire area for a Spooktacular good time. Games, Costume Contests and Treats are held in the Visitors Centre, while crazy creepy things go on at the Blair House of Horrors. Are you brave enough to venture inside? All the way up the street as far as the Theatre Royal are chilling reminders that this town is full of ghosts.
The famously haunted St. George hosts its own Ghoulish Gourmet Dinner and Overnight stay. Pre-registrations are a must as this is an adult only licensed event. Do you dare...?
Old Fashioned Victorian Christmas
One of Barkerville's most endearing traditions takes you back to a simpler time. The snow is so deep that even the silence is muffled, interrupted only by the jingle of sleigh bells, the magical sounds of the Carollers in St. Saviour's Church, and the laughter of children. Have your picture taken with Santa, enjoy a performance by the Newman & Wright Theatre Company, and get your last-minute shopping done at the local Shops.
An overnight stay at the St. George Hotel offers you the opportunity to sit back and imagine that you are the central character in a Currier & Ives Christmas Card.
Call us for details of events in Barkerville and Wells during this amazing weekend. We would love to accommodate your special requests, so be sure to book well in advance.
