You’re specially invited to celebrate the 170th anniversary of the grand Select Ball held at the Highercombe Hotel in 1855

Discover who might have graced the guest list, what stunning fashions were worn, the strict etiquette of the era, and the delightful music that filled the ballroom.

Dance the day away! At 12pm or 2pm, travel back in time and learn the lively Sir Roger de Coverley dance—a true Victorian favourite! Gorgeous ball gowns of the era will also be on display to transport you to another time.

Feeling inspired? Come dressed in period costume and truly immerse yourself in the spirit of the day!

Meet the expert!
Sandy Whitelaw, Curator of the National Trust of SA Costume Collection, will be on hand to share fascinating insights, answer questions, and lead the dances.
