Celebrate the Regency era in style and fun from Friday 27th to Monday 30th November. Events include a Regency evening at Narryna Heritage Museum where you can tour the house and exhibits, then enjoy refreshments and dancing in the garden.
There are dance workshops and a Grand Ball in the fine St James Church Hall in New Town to the exquisite music of Van Diemen's Angels, led by Dancing Master David Wanless. On Sunday, enjoy a Garden Party of dancing, music, history and delicious period food in the fine garden of historic Runnymede, and on Monday, a music and history sail on the majestic tall ship, the Lady Nelson.
This year there is also a bonus night of historically themed contra dancing on Monday evening. All ages and identities are welcome. Attendees are encouraged to dress to the theme and there are tips and links available on the website on how to manage this easily and inexpensively if not a regular costumer.
No dancing experience is necessary, in fact, it's fine to attend any of the events and not partake of the dancing. There is plenty to enjoy, from observing the costumes and dancing and listening to the music to taking part in gentle Regency games and enjoying the historical aspects.
Individual event and weekend tickets are available.
