Events 2010 & 2011




September 2010
Sunday 26 September - Regency Dancers
The Regency Dancers are a group of dancers based in the North West of England. They perform dances popular from the 17th to early 19th centuries in Regency style costume, accompanied by their musicians and will be performing at Arley at 1pm, 2pm and 3pm.
The style of dance was both elegant, graceful and genteel and it played a crucial role in courtship. As the great Jane Austen herself once said "to be fond of dancing is a certain step towards falling in love!" At that time dancing was very central to everyone's life - indeed accomplished dancing was linked with high achievement, grace, and harmonious thinking!

Normal Hall & Gardens entry price applies.
Sunday 26 September - Porsche Club
The North West Region of the Porsche Club GB (PCGB) is this year holding a new Regional Event at Arley Hall.
Combining traditional car festival features - including a “60 years of Porsches” display, concours competition and specialist trade stands - with a range of attractions with wider appeal, “Porsches at Arley Hall” aims to provide an exciting day out for both car enthusiasts and other members of their families. Family attractions will include organic food products, country clothing, jewellery, a bookstall, laser clay pigeon shooting, racecar simulators, and a mammoth Scalextric circuit, and there will be a “Help for Heroes” stand, with a climbing wall and assault course, manned by soldiers of the 1st Battalion Mercian Regiment (“The Cheshires”). Others are welcome, but we wish to avoid duplication.
