You are cordially Invited to the Dickensian Ball
Step back in time and experience the grace and splendour of the 19th century at this year’s Dickensian Ball, to be held in the historic Assembly Room of the Buxton Crescent.
Guests will enjoy an enchanting evening of dancing and entertainment, accompanied by authentic period music performed by the Archaedium Ensemble, with dances elegantly called by Georgia Delve.
