For anyone who finds themselves in England in May -
The Horncastle Regency Festival
It is being held in the village of Horncastle in Lincolnshire from 24th - 27th May.
There will be a Promenade, ball, talks, country house visit, tea and many more events.
I think this is its first year but it sounds like it will be a wonderful event.
