A Mass Dance Event
Step into the world of Jane Austen with an immersive modern twist. Join us outside Mayflower Studios for a reimagined 18th Century Ball celebrating identity, belonging, and community in a dazzling spectacle of movement and flair.
This is a free event to watch a participatory experience of individuals who will be taking over Guildhall Square, outside Mayflower Studios for an unforgettable celebration.
The Austentatious Ball is commissioned by Mayflower and directed by ZoieLogic as part of the nationwide Austen 250 celebrations, marking the 250th year since Jane Austen was born in Hampshire.
Please note: this is an independent, community event and is not affiliated with, nor related to, Austentatious, the popular, improvised stage show.
Participants will be joined by live dance groups so its going to be an event not to be missed.
