In between these two events, attendees are invited to the Rose Exhibition Hall to view Imagining Shakespeare: Mythmaking and Storytelling in the Regency Era. This exhibition showcases 14 paintings in the Folger collection from London's influential Boydell Shakespeare Gallery, which Jane Austen visited in 1796.
Limited tickets remain for the Regency Dance.
Tickets to Afternoon Tea are sold out at this time.
