Step back in time and enjoy an evening of dancing at the Strawberry Summer Ball on Friday 28 June 2013 from 7.15pm to midnight at Horace Walpole's gothic castle, Strawberry Hill, Twickenham.
Horace Walpole spent many hours enjoying festivities and Lady Waldegrave established a tradition of hosting magnificent balls at Strawberry Hill, attended by the leading lights of the 1800s.
On Friday 28 June, guests will be able to take part in dancing with The Covent Garden Minuet Company and modern dancing with The Allbeats. The Covent Garden Minuet Company will perform the social dances of the 18th century, in particular the minuet, in full authentic costume and guests will have the opportunity take part in the dancing.

The evening will kick off with prosecco and strawberries and guests will have a chance to view the house and garden at twilight. Guests are invited to bring their own picnic or dine in the restaurant at Strawberry Hill.
The fund-raising event for Strawberry Hill is part of Twickenham Festival and is supported by Twickenham Town Business Association. Barclays Community Investment, Laverstoke Park Farm, Bingham and Garsons are also generously supporting the ball, with a host of local companies providing fabulous prizes for the raffle.
