The Cameco Capitol Arts Centre is a professional regional theatre located 1-hour east of Downtown Toronto where you will experience top quality productions and concerts in the historic and picturesque small town of Port Hope. Since 2013, under Artistic Director & General Manager Antonio Sarmiento the Capitol has won awards and recognition for embracing its historical status AND using innovative technologies in visual effects to create an enhanced live experience. Recent critically acclaimed stage productions utilizing these technologies include productions of “Disney’s Mary Poppins” and “Singin’ In The Rain”, “SNARL’D! The Rapunzel Panto” and our highly anticipated productions of “On Golden Pond”, “Crazy For You” and the global sensation “Mamma Mia!”. The Capitol has become a “must-see” Ontario destination that has partnerships with local restaurants, cafes, merchants, accommodations and more to offer a complete “experience” to our guests.

We had personal business in a nearby town so stayed at a local hotel off of Hwy 401. On taking the back roads going North, we passed by this unique venue with metal robots and metal dinosaurs greeting us in the side yard. All are for sale...There were plenty of interesting and one of a kind gifts from all over the world in this unique building both upstairs and down.

We went as a family of four and absolutely loved the winter goat Smurgle. All the goats were friendly and super cute. It was a great experience and if you were not already a goat lover then you will be once you visit the Haute Farm. Debbie, the staff and the volunteers are incredibly friendly and make you feel at home. We enjoy a delicious lunch after the Smurgle at the Screaming Goat cafe. I would definitely recommend visiting Haute Farm!!
