Byron's Bash

Saturday 20 April 2024

Thank you Newstead Abbey who invited us to picnic at the manor, in celebration of the 200th anniversary of Lord Byron's death. We really enjoyed chatting to the public about historical costuming, meeting the Newfoundland dogs, and exploring the Abbey again.

We set up camp next to Boatswain's Monument.

Top Row (L-R): We chat to a young family about the historical costumes we're wearing. Thaleia meets one of the Newfoundland dogs at the event.

Bottom Row (L-R): Thaleia and Martha pray for Lord Byron. We enjoy our temporary home on the lawn.

Gary's Regency ladies swoon over him.

(L-R): Thaleia explores the Abbey ruins. Some of Byron's garments on display. Amelia and Martha read some books in the library.
