You are hereby invited to Queen Charlotte’s Ball: A Bridgerton Affair!

Ready your 18^th century or Regency ball finery and join us for dancing, games, and refreshments. Beginning level English country dances will be called by dance master Chris Wilson and dance mistress Kat Nagar. Demonstrated first by Atlanta Historic Dance, all will be invited to participate as we trip the light fantastic to live music.

Queen Charlotte has also prepared contests of skill for those who dare: compete to decorate the most regally stylish wig, or enter the Dating Game, 18^th-century-style, to contend for the hand of a prince! Will you vie for the prize?

Discover the history of courting in Queen Charlotte’s time and enjoy period-accurate finger foods. Throughout the evening, visit the gaming salon to play Whist, Shut the Box, or Backgammon. Visit our vendors to find that special souvenir or accessory for your period ensemble.

Queen Charlotte looks forward to receiving you!
