Jane Austen & Regency Dance
August 1 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us at Abbey After Dark in this intimate evening at the Museum and see the charm of the Museum and collections illuminated at night, as we celebrate 250 years of Jane Austen with a talk on regency dance and wine and cheese evening.
Dr Heather Blasdale-Clarke leads us into the life of one of English literature’s most cherished figures. Step into the world of Jane Austen and explore why dancing was so important in her life and in her novels.
Jane Austen’s works often reflect the social customs and cultural practices of her time, and dance plays a significant role in her novels. The Regency era was characterized by formal social gatherings, balls, and dances, which were important venues for courtship and social interaction.
