Downton Abbey Day at William Ashley 2016

While many of you will be sad to see “Downton Abbey” come to a close after an incredible six-season run, we encourage you to not mourn the series’ end, rather, we’d like you to celebrate its legacy with us and VisionTV’s premiere broadcast of the series’ final season starting Wednesday, June 29 at 9pm ET/6pm PT.

On Saturday, June 25 at Toronto’s William Ashley (55 Bloor St. W., in the Manulife Centre), we will be co-hosting Downton Abbey Day, an occasion in which fans of the show are invited to swing by and soak up everything Downton. This free and elegant event is open to everyone, especially those who are not shy about delivering Dowager Countess quips at a moment’s notice.
