Celebrate the Regency era in style and fun with events including a Regency evening at Narryna Heritage Museum, dance workshops and a Grand Regency Ball in the fine St James Church Hall in New Town, a garden party of dancing, music, history and delicious period food in the fine garden of historic Runnymede, and a music and history sail on the majestic tall ship, the Lady Nelson. Four days of fun, food, fine music, dancing and general frivolity. This year we also have a bonus night of historically themed contra dancing on the Monday night.

All ages and identities welcome. Dressing up in period attire or some approximation thereof is highly admired. Think "dashing" or "elegant". See https://folktas.org/but-darling-i-have-nothing-to-wear/ for easy ideas.
