Our Events

A free event for Victorian aficionados hosted mostly annually.

This year, 12 july, noon. just past the band stand

- join us at the beach! - if you want to have a picnic on a beach and sport your newest bathing suit, simply come along, bring your own food and blanket!

After frolicking in style, we plan to have an evening promenade, showing off the fashionable seaside, boating etc. costumes - photos will be taken, gossip will be exchanged, flirting likely to happen - maybe a game of croquet on the lawn too!

This is not an official, finely structured event - I have enough work as it is with organizing our Victorian Ball in April and Romantic weekend in October, - so just a relaxed social gathering, a chance to wear your seaside finery and relax.

Dress code - strictly late Victorian, please. No blatant steampunk, goth etc. - lovely as they are they are just not a part of this particular event. Obviously, I cannot dictate what people are wearing on a public beach, but we would like to celebrate the historical aspects of our passion on this occasion. We do not wish to offend others with our decision, so please respect the dress code!

For Victorian lovers - we are aiming at the later decades of the era (from 60s onwards) - mostly because of the fashions but also because for blokes there is not much in the way of swimwear before - they were allowed to go commando (banned in the UK in the 1860...). still, if you have late crinoline fashions to display or late 60s bathing suit, all good!

 FB event with the updates: look for a Victorian Beach party on fb!

 Dance the night way, Victorian style!

 This year the  theme is the Natural Form era, 1876-1882! -  we are back to the Guildhall in Bath. The event starts with a Friday walk, there is a dance workshop and the ball  to live music on Saturday.

Strict Dress code applies - please see the section in the shop for details! 

 And as long as you adhere to the dress code, everybody is welcome, irrespective of the ethnicity, gender, size or religion.

Just like in the previous  years,  to revive us after the ball, we will be meeting at Pump Rooms for breakfast on Sunday (booking a table advisable - most of us is booking for around 10am). The food is amazing, the building spectacular and  live classical music playing too - a perfect background for a Victorian matinee:-)

In the previous years we would add more activities before or after the ball - picnics, carriage rides, boating trips - I will keep you posted what the plans involve for next year...

All the updates will be posted on  in private facebook event  for ticket holders.

The tickets for the ball and the workshop can be purchased in our shop  - available now!
