Incredible talent and stage design in my fav intimate theatre. The performance was so interesting and exciting it had us on the edge of our seats. It is a memorable show that goes well beyond its famous line: you can’t handle the truth. Tom Cruise, you gotta see your new competition.

The St. Jacobs Schoolhouse Theatre is located in the heart of the old town, adjacent to Canada's original Home Hardware Store and just steps away from the bustling main street. With unique gift shops, excellent restaurants, museums and galleries, as well as quaint country inns and B&Bs, the village of St. Jacobs is the perfect spot to spend a few days.Set in a renovated 1867 village schoolhouse, this professional theatre is high on charm. With only 100 seats and remarkable acoustics, the intimate atmosphere lends itself to cabaret-style performances, where you can enjoy a beverage at your table that's positioned just a few feet from the stage.

We spent an hour in this small but very informative and interactive museum. Even though we only live an hour away, we found we learned so much about the Mennonites (locally and world-wide) and have a new appreciation for their way of life and beliefs.

This store is pretty well dedicated to peanuts although most common nuts are also available (macadamia, pecans, walnuts, etc.). They offer almost every variety of peanut you can want (Bavarian, salted, non-salted, red skinned, etc.). They have Ontario grown peanuts which have a slightly different flavour and have recently introduced black skinned peanuts which are slightly sweeter than red skinned. There is also their peanut/chip creation which come in many flavours. At Christmas they offer a nice selection of gift boxes. They also have some excellent chocolate products and chocolate you can take home and use in molds to make your own chocolate treats (no tempering of the chocolate needed). Public washroom is available.

I do enjoy the craft beers from here. The bar area is pretty nice. I like how the regular customers all have own cups!! The staff was super friendly. Looking forward to going back to try more beers. And for the none beer drinkers, the house made ginger ale is great.

We love this place it’s a must when visiting the market and local attractions. So many great vendors lots of choices! I collect fiesta ware so I go and add a few pieces to my collection every time we visit st Jacobs. Trips down memory lane with older artifacts is good for the soul and a great history lesson for younger ones.
