You are cordially invited to a dinner party at the country estate of the Marquis of Salisbury on the 7th of September 1912…
A 10 player theatre-form historical LARP in the vein of Downton Abbey but featuring far more scandal then the Crawley’s could handle!
The Hertford family are opening up their home for the first time since their heir Thomas Hertford died on the tragic sinking of the Titanic. The new heir to the estate is to be named at the dinner, and with such a fortune there are likely to be a few proposals! However there is more on the menu then just dinner, in this high society world, all you need to do is scratch the surface to find scandal galore!
Time: Approx 7pm – 11pm
Date: Sat 7th of April 2012 (Note this is Easter weekend but as Saturday does not have any major religious rites I hope people will be able to make it)
Place: Private home in Takapuna
Cost: $30 – This will include dinner and wine
