Welcome get-together (Friday 2 October 2009)

An ideal opportunity, over light refreshments and a glass of wine, to meet up with old friends or make some new ones particularly if this is your first festival.

The festival continues throughout the long weekend with workshops, displays, teas, suppers, outdoor activities, dances, balls and much much more.

The Festival is hosted by John & Aylwen Gardiner-Garden and the Earthly Delights Historic Dance Academy.

Events planned so far:

- Beginner Dance Workshops
- Advanced Dance Workshops
- Ettiquette
- Variety nights in the evenings
- Improv. Theatre on Sunday night
- Bonnet making workshop (early-victorian)
- Handsewing Workshop (mid-victorian, Godeys pattern)

- Dickens and Steampunk Readings
- Victorian hair styling demonstrations (short & long hair)
- Antique Clothing Displays (different displays each day)

Sewing patterns we recommend...

We use and recommend mid-late Victorian patterns from Truly Victorian.


You can also find good patterns from Simplicity Patterns Online, or from most sewing stores in Australia.

An excellent early Victorian (1830s) e-pattern can be purchased from our Australian website Regency Reproductions.
