In celebration of the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, Dr Melissa Shiels will present a costumed talk on the clothing and daily activities of elite women in the Regency period. This talk will highlight the hair and beauty regime of a Regency lady - the underpinnings she wore, outfits for visiting and practising her 'accomplishments' and for the most opulent of occasions - going to the ball! The talk will finish with a demonstration of tea etiquette from the period.
