Enjoy Champagne & Dancing at the Bath Fashion Museum

For one night only, champagne tasting and Georgian dancing will be on offer at the Bath Fashion Museum next month.

To celebrate Museums at Night 2013, the Fashion Museum is offering special tours of its 50th anniversary exhibition "50 Fabulous Frocks" on Friday May 17th.

As part of Museums at Night 2013, hundreds of museums, galleries, libraries, archives and heritage sites across the country will unlock their doors for special evening events from Thursday May 16th to Saturday May 18th.

Visitors can choose from either dancing with the Jane Austen dancers in the Assembly Rooms ballroom or taking part in Champagne tastings with a wine expert.

Councillor Cherry Beath (Lib-Dem, Combe Down), Cabinet Member for Sustainable Development, said: “This looks set to be a truly magnificent evening, combining our display of 50 Fabulous Frocks with the romance of a Jane Austen social gathering or the luxury of tasting fine Champagne.

“We hope our residents and visitors alike to take advantage of this special opportunity to check out Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Fashion Museum, along with the wide range of events happening at other local heritage attractions, for Museums at Night 2013.”

Tickets for the “Tours and Dancing” Jane Austen event are £5 each while tickets for the “Tours and Tastings” Champagne experience are £22 each.
