See all- WHISPERTON: An afternoon of Jane Austen/regency era inspired parlor gamesVillage of Tarrytown - Center, Tarrytown, NY
Step into the charming world of the Regency Era and Jane Austen with a fun and interactive afternoon of parlor games. Inspired by the art of gossip - a favorite pastime of the period - Whisperton is a delightful way to spend an afternoon - whether joining on your own or with others.
2025 marks the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birthday and so a fitting time to celebrate all things Jane Austen!
Whisperton was previously held in February of this year at the Mead House (Dobbs Ferry Historical Society).
TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE.
I will be leading the Whisperton program which will be a lighthearted escape into Regency charm. Whether an avid follower of all things Jane Austen, or simply intrigued to join in on an afternoon of amusements, the event is open to all.
Guests will learn about the history of gossip during the era followed by a number of interactive and engaging parlor games (while seated in the comfort of your chair). Note: You can an avid Jane Austen enthusiast, or enamored by the Regency era, or simply to spend a Friday late afternoon a little differently.
The afternoon will be accompanied by tea and a selection of historic inspired sweets and cakes, with each guest taking home a Regency era inspired gift.
Whisperton will take place at the Village of Tarrytown Rec Center, located by the waterfront park.
Note: an RSVP for this Meetup tells me you are interested but a confirmed purchase of a ticket guarantees you a spot.
