Friday 4 October 2024 - Dare to explore the dark side of Victorian society this October! We're offering guided tours of Lougheed House where we'll explain why the mundane lives of the Victorians were full of frights. Each room of their homes had a different scare to it, poisonous wallpaper, steep staircases, and death portraiture – you never knew what was hiding behind the next corner.
