�� We’re hosting a ball!
Did you know The Literary Institute (our home) used to be called the Egham Assembly Rooms and hosted balls from the late 1770s into the 19th century.
For one night only (Sat 31st Jan), we’re bringing back the tradition!
We’ve released our first wave of tickets now!

Our living history event will include:
- Performances of 18th century dances by The Bath Minuet Company accompanied by live music and a chance to learn the steps

- Georgian games (including parlour games, chess, draughts and card games from the period)
- An exhibition of the Georgian period
- A showcase of Artworks by local community groups
- Poetry recitals
- light refreshments and a bar
