Costume Guide

On this page you find inspirational photos, a dress code summary and a costume guide.

We invite each player to bring their own Victorian costume

to make The Baron of Belgrave Square look and feel like a historical drama on TV.

We aim for everyone to experience a late 19th-century atmosphere,

and we appreciate any level of commitment you can offer regarding costumes.
