STILL GOT QUESTIONS? Let's answer them! 

Frequently Asked Questions

 Is this a historically accurate event?

This enchanting evening is inspired by the whimsical charm of Regency-era fantasy, much like your favourite Netflix show. While we embrace the spirit of the period, we won’t strictly adhere to historical accuracy. Expect the comforts of modern amenities like electricity and Wi-Fi, alongside a celebration of contemporary values of equality and diversity. Join us for a delightful night of fun and creativity!

 Do I need to be familiar with Regency etiquette to enjoy the Ball?
​

Not at all. The Winterton Ball is designed for everyone to enjoy, whether you’re a seasoned socialite or stepping into high society for the first time. Regency attire and mannerisms add to the fun, but you’ll feel welcome and at ease no matter what.
​

 What should I wear?

Regency-inspired attire is encouraged to enhance the enchanting atmosphere and create magical photo opportunities, but it's not mandatory. You're more than welcome to don elegant evening or cocktail wear instead. Dress in what makes you feel fabulous and comfortable!

 What if I can’t make it?

No problem. Let us know after checkout at bookings@dukesinvitation.com and our chefs will make sure you’re looked after.
