About History Wardrobe Presents: Ladies of Leisure - Skipton Town Hall

Do you fancy a spot of Regency cricket? Or is lolling on the sofa more your thing?

This delightful talk from the creator of Bad Girls & Bonnets and Ladies of a Certain Age explores pleasures and pastimes in Jane Austens era, from ambling in the shrubbery to enchanting embroidery.

Historian Lucy Adlington will showcase marvellous original fashions for sport and dancing, and amuse you with hilarious readings from Austens novels.
