Step back in time to the colourful and glamorous Renaissance period at Dirleton Castle on Sunday 19 June 2011.
From 12:00 noon to 4:00pm you will be able to see that although Scotland was in a time of turmoil, pleasure for the nobility was still a high priority. Watch and learn how a lady of high-status would have dressed and behaved and find out the surprising dangers of cosmetics of the period.
Enjoy dancing by the highly acclaimed Danse Ecosse and have the opportunity of trying a few steps yourself under their specialist guidance.
Gillian Urquhart, Events and Filming Assistant Manager said: “This will be a fun- filled day for families and will be a great way to find out about our history and heritage. Discover how the nobility from the Renaissance period, dressed, behaved and sometimes suffered in their mission to be fashionable.”
The event is included in the admission price: Adult £5 Concession £4 Child £3.
Free to Historic Scotland members.
