The ladies of Hemsworth Estate are set to host their annual Country Ball with a four seasons theme on January 31st of the year 2026. The anticipation of certain ton members is reaching a new eagerness unknown before to this author.

It is with the greatest authority I can say, the ladies have outdone themselves with the planning of their latest soiree. I have on the highest authority the evenings’ entertainment will include:

• Welcome by our butler, and a dance card allocated.
• A complimentary themed cocktail upon arrival and a cash bar offering plenty of choices.
• A grand entrance via Horse and Carriage, complimentary for those lucky enough to receive an Earlybird Ticket.
• A Formal Promenade has also been included in the evening’s entertainment for those who wish to see their modiste’s handiwork shine in the spotlight.
• A formal portrait setting and professional portraits from the maestro Jonny Knopp.
• A selection of light refreshments including the finest meats and cheese platters from Fern and Feta Platters, and some home-cooked favourites for a light supper from the Hemsworth Estate chef will be on offer.
• And a selection of three alumni dances from the previous ball, and one new dance have been added to the repertoire.

Tickets will be released to the public on December 3rd 2025 in three tiers.
