Have you ever wanted to step back in time and experience the opulence and excitement of a Regency party? 

Join Sydney Regency Weekends at historic Exeter Village Hall from May 17th to 19th for the third annual A Regency Affair.

It will be held in the Southern Highlands, a region in New South Wales known for its picturesque landscapes, cool climate, and charming villages. The area is renowned for its natural beauty, including rolling hills, lush forests, and stunning gardens, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. 

Here, history, music, and merriment await. From a lavish opening dinner to a lively ball and a day filled with workshops and activities at a private National Trust property, every moment promises delight.

Indulge in delectable meals and treats throughout the weekend, including a charming picnic in a nearby National Trust garden on Sunday. Engage with guest speakers, craft workshops, and outdoor adventures that capture the spirit of the era.

There will also be guest speakers, craft workshops, and outdoor activities, including croquet.

Limited discounted tickets are available for volunteers eager to lend a hand.
