A huge thank you to everyone who came out to the Spring Ball last week!💐
It was such a delight to have you all looking so splendid, dancing so beautifully and enjoying the magical music 🪭
It was truly a wonderful way to round off an academic year and say a fond farewell to our beloved King’s Manor.

The Spring Ball has music, so naturally we should want dancing as well 💃🏻
Who better to lead us than Lottie from Dance the Past! We are so excited that Lottie will be teaching us some 18th Century dances from 6-7pm at the Ball, we look forward to seeing you in your dancing shoes!

You can’t have a ball without some music, right?

We are delighted to announce that Eboracum String Quartet will be providing music for our Spring Ball! We are so so stoked to have them playing some lovely 18th century tunes for us 🎻
