VISITORS are invited to relive the glories of an 18th century ball at Copped Hall in Epping.

Gates will open at 6.30pm on Saturday, September 24, and instructors in full period costume will be on hand to teach guests the intricacies of flourishes, fleurets and fan waving.

The event aims to recapture the atmosphere of dances held in the Georgian Assembly Room in the 18th century and music by JS Bach, Handel and Mozart will be played.

Tickets cost £25, and refreshments will be provided.
