❝ Maria’s Learn how to be a Regency Dandy or an Austen Lady session for adults was well planned and fitted extremely well into the themes of the Geffrye Museum. The workshop was well executed and its interactive nature meant that the participants were able to join in the fun, whilst learning about tea etiquette and other social behaviours of the regency period. It made the subject come alive and the group really enjoyed the experience ❞
