Whether it’s the sweeping rhythms of classic dances or more lively tunes, their performances will set the perfect tone for every moment on the dance floor. No matter the steps, they’ll ensure every guest is swept away by the magic of the night.

Ye gentle reader of this account. Your hosts will be going live to discuss in more detail the patterns we posted on creating your historical look, if creating is what you're looking to do.
💙
For those of you not looking to create why not join as well and watch us stumble along explaining why pattern instructions are helpful when we ourselves never use them.
🤷🏻‍♀️
And as no party is complete without inviting a friend or two, we'll be welcoming and hopefully see many of all of you!
😊
Join us live on Wednesday January 24, 5 pm GMT.

What is The Bridge Town Ball?

The ball will consist of a live band, professional photographer, dancing, a charity raffle, games and so much more!

Who are the organisers/hosts?

The event is hosted by

Richy Wedge - Contestant on season 8 of The Great British Sewing Bee and massive Regency fashion nerd.

You can always upcycle or recycle an old outfit, or even create a stunning accessory to pair with it. We would love for you to craft a part of your outfit but whatever you decide to do, the most important thing is that you feel amazing in it!

you will be treated to a refreshing glass of prosecco or non alcoholic alternative on arrival and we have a fully stocked bar available throughout the evening.
