Built between 1835-1837, Ireland House at Oakridge Farm was the home of Joseph Ireland, one of Burlington's earliest settlers. Emigrating from Bowes Yorkshire, England in1819 at the age of 27, he petitioned for land at Oakridge Farm and so began a legacy that continues today.

    Experience the house decorated for Victorian Christmas, and learn about the holiday traditions that the Ireland family cherished.

    There is limited accessibility upstairs, however anyone who cannot manage the stairs can tour the main floor and then have a 360 degree virtual tour of the upstairs presented in a separate room.

    East Coast Kitchen Party

    Convenor: Roy MacKay

    Date: March 22,  2025

    Time: 6:00 - 11:00 pm

    Location: The Royal  Canadian Legion 21 Charles St., Milton


    A true east coast kitchen party is a legendary get-together rooted in community. Neighbours and friends gather in someone's kitchen, which is often the biggest and warmest room in the house. There is storytelling, some of them might even be true! There is always food and drink, music and dancing. Music is the lifeblood of any kitchen party. It's not unusual for guests to bring their own instruments as parties turn into jam sessions. Fiddles, accordions, and guitars are the staples and before long folks are up for a scuff (dancing) and a scoff (food).


    Please join us for our own Kitchen Party

    Live Music with the Celtic Effect Band who will take requests for East Coast/Irish songs

    Dinner optional: Menu: Corned Beef, cabbage and potatoes with cake for dessert.

    Cash bar available

    If you wish to attend dinner please arrive at 6 pm cost for dinner and entertainment $48

    If you wish to attend only the entertainment arrive at 7 pm, cost $20

    Location: Backed by Bees, 6214 Appleby Line, Burlington, L7M 0P7


    Join us for an hour bee encounter at Backed by Bees.

    Imagine bees flitting from flower to flower, the sweet smell of honey lingering in the air, the buzz of 2 million bees going to and fro and you standing in the middle of it all. During this experience, you'll have the ability to get as close to the bees as you would like, and experience first hand what a hive of 60,000 bees looks, feels and tastes like. You might even get accustomed to the buzz.

    Led by the Head Beekeeper who cares for over 700 beehives, this one hour experience is perfect for anyone who likes nature, has a curiosity about honeybees and wants to experience bees in their natural habitat. 

    *Learn about the structural make up of a bee yard and a beehive

    *Be introduced to live honeybees by opening up a colony, interacting with the bees and seeing the internal workings of the colony. You may even "pet" a bee!

    *Taste honey straight from a bee hive frame

    There is a tap inside the farm store where their very own Honey Soda and Mead (the oldest form of alcohol in the world) are served.
