What would it be like to attend a ball at the assembly rooms in Georgian Britain? From the opening minuets to the closing country dances, Hillary’s talk will explore the colourful characters, the stunning spaces, the triumphs and faux pas within the assembly rooms in Buxton and beyond. Join Hillary as she navigates the spoken and unspoken rules of the Georgian ballroom. Hillary is a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Liverpool, working on the histories of British assembly rooms in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
