And once that\u2019s done, you\u2019ll be able to keep the fun going with a <strong>Regency Ball at the Royal Festival Hall\u2019s Clore Ballroom<\/strong>, but more on that later.<\/p>\n<p> <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-313671\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Royal-Festival-Hall-666x485.jpg\" alt=\"Shot of the Royal Festival Hall (right) and the Shard (left) in London\" width=\"952\" height=\"693\"  \/>Credit: Wormsmeat via Shutterstock Bridgerton and Beyond <\/p>\n<p>Sit down at the <strong>Royal Festival Hall on Friday, September 26, and you\u2019ll be in for two hours of sounds of the Regency era<\/strong> that you may recognise from the Netflix smash, Bridgerton. Friday Night Is Music Night is taking place in person this time around, with the conducting duties of Karen N\u00ed Bhroin, featuring music that also evokes the likes of Downton Abbey, the stories of Jane Austen (think Pride and Prejudice, Emma, &amp; Sense and Sensibility), Sherlock, and more.<\/p>\n<p> The Grand Regency Ball <\/p>\n<p>Once the fun of the concert is over, everyone there will also be invited to shuffle over to the Clore Ballroom in the Royal Festival Hall for a Regency knees-up. <strong>Each ticketholder to Bridgerton and Beyond will have free entry to the period-themed dance event<\/strong> hosted by Libby Curzon. Regency dress-up is encouraged but optional, so you can dance to the live musical performances in your cargo shorts or your tailcoat jacket\u2026 whichever feels right on the day.<\/p>\n<p>The Clore Ballroom is set to transform into a party that would be worthy of Bridgerton after taking in the beautiful sounds of the concert, and it\u2019s the perfect accompaniment to the beauty of the BBC Concert Orchestra\u2019s show; a fine way to end your Friday evening with a sway or a waltz.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Bridgerton and Beyond\u2019 with the BBC Concert Orchestra takes place on September 26, with the grand regency ball taking place afterwards.
