Dearest Gentle Reader,

In just one weeks time, you will have the opportunity to procure your invitation to the Ladies of Hemsworth Estate's annual Country Ball.

This year's theme? The Four Seasons...
The location? New and yet to be revealed...

We can't wait to host you for our most memorable ball yet. Do you have your calendar marked?

In just one week, our dearest friends, the Ashburt

In just one week, our dearest friends, the Ashburton-shire Ton who have attended our previous balls will receive their invitations to our 2026 Country Ball - The Four Seasons 🍂❄🌸🍃

24 hours later, on December 2nd the Waitlist (which is now larger than our capacity for the ball - thank you!) will receive their invitations.

And finally the remainder of the tickets will be open to the public on December 3rd. We cannot wait to share our plans for our third Bridgerton-inspired ball, it's going to be bigger and better than ever!

Yours truly,
The ladies of Hemsworth Estate
