After a gentle gathering on the Kings Lawn outside of Brighton’s Royal Pavilion, guests samples beautiful mango ice cream before taking the air in a stroll around the Old Steine.

Guests then returned to The Pavilion’s King William IV Room for a Champagne tea.

It bought an end to the most amazing, magical weekend I have ever experienced.

But as always in the costuming world, these events are made all the more magical by the people you meet and the friends that you make.

And yes, I was slightly overdressed for the bus, but they had champagne!!
