We’re getting closer to the New Year and the new season of Downton Abbey, which means it’s time to dust off your Downton Abbey-themed attire. Dress up in your black tie, put on your best hat and join us at one of these parties inspired by the series.
Season 5 Premiere Event and English Tea Reception
Sunday, January 4 at Monona Terrace in Madison
You could watch the Season 5 premiere from home, or you can join our friends at Monona Terrace for their special premiere event and English tea reception (Lady Rose would approve of your adventurous spirit!). The premiere event is free, however priority seating will be given to those attending the English tea reception ($15). Learn more and register for this event.
An Evening Inspired by Downton Abbey
Saturday, February 28 at The University Club in Madison
We had so much fun hosting last year’s Downton Abbey event, we’ve decided to do it all over again! This fundraising event for Wisconsin Public Television features Downton Abbey-inspired food and fun, both upstairs and down. Period dress is encouraged…costumes will be judged and awards given! Learn more and see photos from last year’s event.
Hope to see you at one of these events. Share your party ideas or costume designs in the comments.
