A Picnic at Pemberley

September 3, 2022 @ 1:00 pm 4:00 pm

This event has now sold out!

Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy requests the pleasure of your company at a Picnic at Pemberley, in the stunning grounds of the Abbey Museum and Church to partake in an afternoon of elegance and grace. Find amusement in games such as pall-mall, the game of graces, battledore and archery. Afternoon tea will include tea, coffee, cool beverages and a range of delicious sandwiches, cakes, biscuits and more. Enjoy regency dancing, music, presentations and re-enactment.

Scroll down to Add-Ons to purchase a ticket for the Regency Dance workshop at 10.30am. There will be instructors, courtesy of Dance Kaleidoscope, to explain the importance of dance during the Regency period and you will have the opportunity to learn a few different dances. As Regency dances were not physically arduous (a lady would never exert themselves to the state of perspiring) you will still have plenty of energy to see you through the rest of the day’s activities. We only have 70 placements in this workshop so you will need to book early.

Online bookings essential.
