Dearest Gentle Reader,
It is with the greatest pleasure, and no small measure of excitement, that this author announces the arrival of the most anticipated society affair of the winter season. The time has come to secure one’s place in the Queen's Court for the Ball of the Season!
The Bridgerton Regency-Era Ball at Hammond Castle Museum shall take place on Saturday, February 28, and this author can confidently confirm it is already the most discussed engagement among discerning members of the ton.
Upon arrival, guests will be greeted by a stately footman and guided to the Great Hall, where they will be formally presented to Her Majesty the Queen. Ever watchful, Her Majesty, along with her Royal Footman, Brimsley, will keenly observe every curtsy, compliment, and whispered intrigue. A live string quartet and roving harpist will provide an enchanting musical backdrop as the Queen surveys the room in search of the evening’s Diamond of the Season.
Guests will delight in a choreographed Regency dance lesson, and group dance, followed by an evening of spirited, modern music & dancing as a DJ carries the celebration into the night. Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy exquisite bites & sweet treats catered by Sugar Magnolia’s, ensuring no one leaves the ballroom unsatisfied. A cash bar will also be available for those who wish to participate. This event is intended for those age 18 years and older.
Regency-style attire is strongly encouraged, as one would hate to be the only guest out of fashion.

-Check-in at the Museum Shop begins at 5:45 pm.
