Especially for Georgian Festival 2025, discover Fairfax House in a whole new light.

For this special event, step into the private world of the Hon. Ann Fairfax and experience her townhouse as she once knew it - elegant, intimate, and alive with the spirit of the past. As you wander through her beautifully furnished interiors by the flicker of candlelight, you’ll be fully immersed in Ann’s world -surrounded by the soft glow, subtle scents, and echoes of her life.

This is a unique and atmospheric way to experience Fairfax House.
