You’re cordially invited to the season's most anticipated social event.
Step into the elegance of the past at Harewood’s Late Summer Regency Ball on Friday 20 September, a night of grandeur, grace, and spirited dancing in the stunning surroundings of Harewood House.
Though this is Harewood’s first-ever Regency Ball, the House has played host to many. From recreating Princess Mary’s ball for Downton Abbey: The Movie to standing in for Buckingham Palace in ITV’s Victoria, Harewood has long been a setting for regal revelry. Now, it’s your turn to experience it for yourself.
With live period music from Regency Rejigged, a caller will guide you through the steps, ensuring all guests, whether seasoned dancers or complete beginners, can take to the floor with confidence.
This is a costumed event, and we ask that all ladies and gentlemen dress in Regency or late 18th-century attire to truly immerse in the evening’s splendour.
Your evening includes:
- A one-hour dance workshop to master the moves before the ball begins
- Two glasses of Nyetimber, England’s finest sparkling wine
- Canapés served throughout the eveningDancing in the Gallery with live Regency music
Raise a glass, take your partner’s hand, and waltz back in time for a night to remember at Harewood.

For over 30 years, Nyetimber has had a single aim: crafting exceptional English Sparkling Wine that rivals the very best in the world. A true pioneer, Nyetimber was the first producer of English Sparkling Wine to exclusively grow the three celebrated grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Regarded as England’s finest sparkling wine, Nyetimber is made from one hundred percent estate-grown grapes. Owner and Chief Executive, Eric Heerema, works together with Head Winemaker Cherie Spriggs and Senior Winemaker Brad Greatrix to produce wine of extraordinary elegance and quality. Cherie Spriggs was named ‘Sparkling Winemaker of the Year’ at the International Wine Challenge 2018 – one of the most highly-regarded wine competitions in the world. She was the first woman as well as the first person outside the Champagne region of France to win this prestigious award.
