Episode 21

During this time of social isolation what better way to distract ourselves than by escaping into the lively world of Regency England.
In this episode I explore the culture of the Assembly Rooms through the eyes of a wealthy young lady. Expect details on music and dance, fashion and rules of social etiquette as well as a brief history of the Bath Assembly Rooms.
