🎺🎺🎺Hear, hear! Hear, hear! 🎺🎺🎺
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.

FAQ's

What is The Bridge Town Ball?

The idea for the Bridge Town Ball originated from a discussion about organizing a Regency-style ball. Rather than striving for complete historical accuracy, we aimed to make it inclusive and enjoyable for all.

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.

Ruth McIntyre - Hobby sewist - quite partial to a dress or two. Massive Bridgerton & Queen Charlotte fan.stressed.ruth

Nicky Carty - Corset maker and historical costume fanatic. Committee branch rep of the Northan Branch of the Jane Austen Society.


Who can come?

The Bridge Town Ball is for everyone! We just want you to be in love with the Regency style as much as we are.

Yes! The event is hosted in a spectacular ballroom on the first floor with lift access and accessible toilets on both ground and first floors.

What are the requirements; Do I have to make my own outfit?

There is no better time than now to make a start on your dream Regency outfit, but remember that you don’t have to do it from scratch. 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!

Will there be food and drink?

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. If you wish, you are most welcome to bring an ‘evening picnic’ complete with napkins & utensils but please refrain from bringing your own drinks.
