Dearest Gentle Reader,

Is there truly a ball without a promenade the next day? It’s where I certainly shall be awaiting your eager discussions of my latest paper. The Ladies of Hemsworth Estate have tripled their efforts with this years calendar, offering not one but three events over the ball weekend.

This finale is offered to you free of charge! Rather like they are taking a leaf from a certain author’s paper…

You are cordially invited to Promenade at the Ashburton Domain on Sunday 1st February at 11:00am. 

The Details:

Attendance is free, but we do encourage reserving a free ticket for numbers.
Regency dress is encouraged (we know you have more than one outfit in your wardrobe by now!)
The Little Hive Ice-Cream Stall will also be available in the Lay-By for refreshing Iced-Glaces.
An Idyllic picnic box and refreshment packages is available for pre-order to enjoy among the gardens. Purchase these below.

Enjoy a Picnic from Tamara’s Kitchen

Pre-order a delicious picnic to enjoy during our promenade on the grounds of the domain delivered right to you. A picnic box for two includes club sandwiches, a charcuterie selection alongside seasonal fruits and scones with cream and jam to finish off the delightful spread. $60 for a box for two, and $70 if you require a dietary alternative like Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan etc. Pre-order your picnic below before 18th January 2026.
