Come enjoy a fancy dress ball for Valentine"s Day weekend! Wear your best Tudor finery (or any pre- 1600 costume). All dances will be taught and called, so no experience is necessary. We expect a great many newcomers. Loaner garb will be available from the Buckston Gold Key.

All buildings are equipped with ramps and fully accessible to wheelchairs in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. 3 full-service bathrooms are available on site (1 men’s room, 1 women’s room, 1 wheelchair accessible).
