Dickens Birthday Celebration Ball

Dickens Grand Ball If you are missing Strictly and Great Expectations leaves you wanting more, why not celebrate a birthday in style and attend our ball. The Groundings Theatre is the very place where Charles Dickens’ story begins, as Elizabeth Dickens went into labour with her famous son whilst attending a dance the evening before. Break out your ballgowns, iron your cravats and join us in a unique recreation of the 1812 ball on Monday 6th February. Our evening of dance and celebrations features the Regency Dancers and musicians. With help on hand to glide you around the dance floor, come alone or with a partner and let the dances of the day take you back in style. Unsure what to wear? Groundlings has an extensive wardrobe collection from which you can hire your outfits.
