A comfortable evening with dinner and a detailed explanation of table settings, how the rules of etiquette came to be, and the intricacies of proper Edwardian (and modern) dinner etiquette, everything from unfolding your napkin to holding your coffee cup. Gain a new appreciation for the downstairs staff by trying your hand at decanting through a silver funnel just like Mr. Carson’s or serving the sauce. It all happens in a dining room which has hosted elegant dinners since before the Titanic went down. Join us for this informative talk and you’ll never hear Lady Mary say that you’re not very fastidious about doing things properly. Arrive 6:00 – 6:15 for dinner at 6.30 though a proper Edwardian dinner would have been at 8:00 with the dressing gong at 7:00. $47.50 per person. Advance reservations required.
