5th Annual Jane Austen Regency Ball

Experience the splendor of the Regency era and the romance of the stories of Jane Austen by stepping back in time to a glittering world of dukes and duchesses.

The Ball

Dance like Lizzie and Mr. Darcy to the tune of period music, led by professional caller Tom Tumbusch. This year we will be offering a lesson before the ball at 1pm at the Toledo Club for those who wish to brush up on their dancing.

The Dinner

There will also be an optional pre-ball banquet of early 19th century inspired fare, served buffet style. Seats are reserved, so consider combining orders with friends if you wish to sit together. Please check which tickets your are purchasing if you intend to attend the dinner.

The Venue

The ball will be in the club's Centennial room, featuring ornate chandeliers, detailed healing and woodwork, and a musicians gallery. The banquet will also be at the club, in the main dining room.

Built in 1915, the Toledo Club boasts neo-Classical inspired architecture to rival Netherfield Park.
