Jane Austen Ball In-Person
Join us for a Jane Austen Ball in celebration of her 250th birthday! The dance will be called by David Millstone, with live music by Trip to Norwich (Carol Compton and Thal Aylward). (Snow date: Saturday December 13, 7:00-9:00 pm.)
Jane Austen fans, English Country dancers, Bridgerton aficionados, and the idly curious: All are welcome! English Country Dancing is a highly accessible social dance form. Instruction will be given and dances will be called. No experience necessary!
Costumes admired, but not required! (Find costume inspirations for women and for men attached as PDFs at the bottom of this event listing) Refreshments will be served, and Still North Books & Bar will be on hand to sell elegant editions of Jane Austen's works.
The ball will take place in the New Books area on the Main Floor of the library. No registration required. Email jared.jenisch@thehowe.org with questions.
