Celebrate spring in style at Bribie Island Seaside Museum's exclusive soirée.

Inspired by the elegance of the Jane Austen era, this memorable evening combines fashion, music, dance and the intricate art of lace-making, alongside the museum's newest exhibition Lace it up.

Sip sparkling refreshments, watch the sunset over the waterfront and step back in time.

We'd like you to dust off your corset, straighten your hat, slip on your gloves, and prepare to dress to impress for a memorable night by the seaside. Prizes will be awarded for the Best Dressed Belle and Best Dressed Beau.

Enjoy hands-on lace-making demonstrations with the Queensland Lace Makers Guild, live musical entertainment, and a Regency-inspired dance performance that brings the period to life.

With delicious high tea refreshments and plenty of opportunities to immerse yourself in the elegance of a bygone era, this is an evening not to be missed.

Bribie Island Seaside Museum is open from Wednesday to Friday, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM, and Saturday to Sunday, 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM.
