ANDARA GALLERY ANNOUNCES
THE 6th ANNUAL “HOLIDAY PHOTO IN THE BARN”
HAS MOVED TO THE EDDIE HOTEL & FARM IN WELLINGTON!
​
 Proceeds will continue to support the PECMHF “BACK THE BUILD’ Campaign

What began as a way to bring isolated people together safely to make cherished holiday memories during the Covid pandemic … grew over 5 years resulting in over 3,000 people (and countless pets) being photographed at ANDARA Gallery’s annual “Holiday Photo in the Barn” event … raising over $35,000 for the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Tara Wilkinson and Andrew Csafordi are proud to announce that their beloved annual program "Holiday Photo in the Barn" has transitioned over to The Eddie Farm & Hotel at 15786 Loyalist Parkway ... for the 2025 Holiday season and beyond.
 
“We have loved every minute of our 5 years hosting this special holiday fundraiser! The program has grown so much and now requires more energy and resources. We couldn’t be more thrilled to hand the reins of this beautiful annual tradition over to the stewardship of Alex Portman and Michael von Teichman at The Eddie Hotel and Farm … the epitome of Christmas in the County.
We know their team will do a great job continuing this treasured tradition for County residents and visitors”, said Tara Wilkinson, co-owner of ANDARA Gallery.

Thank you to each and every one of the thousands of visitors that came to our Holiday Photo in the Barn event over the past 5 years. It's been truly an honour to help you all make special holiday memories!

​The 6th annual “Holiday Photos at The Red Barn” event will take place at its new location, The Eddie Hotel and Farm located at 15786 Loyalist Parkway (between Bloomfield and Wellington) in Prince Edward County … Thursdays through Sundays between Noon and 6 PM starting on Thursday, December 4th and running through Sunday, December 21st, 2025.
 
Residents and visitors can now make a reservation for their photo time ONLINE at www.theeddie.ca/holiday-photo-in-the-barn. You then bring your own fully charged camera and the Eddie staff will take your photo in front of one of their festival photo areas in exchange for a donation to the PECMH Foundation’s Back the Build campaign.
 
"We are delighted to be taking over the annual Holiday Photo in the Barn event from Tara and Andrew at ANDARA Gallery and bringing it to The Eddie Hotel and Farm. We are happy to continue the tradition of providing such a joyful experience for our community that brings people together to create memories while raising money for the new hospital,” says Alex Portman, Co-owner of The Eddie Hotel and Farm.
