UNITED KINGDOM / AGILITYPR.NEWS / February 02, 2026 / Prepare to be transported. In early 2026, The Diamond Gala returns with an exquisite three-day celebration of romance, refinement and Regency splendour—set within the breathtaking surroundings of Oakley Hall, a four-star Georgian country house steeped in Jane Austen history.

Taking place 27 February – 1 March 2026, this exclusive weekend event invites just 400 guests to immerse themselves in a world inspired by Bridgerton, Downton Abbey and the timeless elegance of period drama. Think grand ballrooms, candlelit dinners, sweeping gowns, tailored tailcoats—and the thrill of stepping into another era.

At the heart of the weekend is a sumptuous black-tie gala dinner and Regency-inspired ball, where live music and traditional choreography set the tone for an evening of dancing, drama and dazzling style. Guests are encouraged to dress to impress and fully embrace the fantasy.

Adding to the magic, attendees will enjoy exclusive access to an extraordinary lineup of special guests, including stars from Bridgerton and Downton Abbey, as well as Julia Quinn, the author behind the Bridgerton novels. Already confirmed are Richard Armitage, Robert-James Collier, Martins Imhangbe, Chris Fulton, Adjoa Andoh and Max Brown, with opportunities for Q&As, photo sessions and intimate conversations throughout the weekend.

Beyond the ballroom, the programme includes a traditional English afternoon tea, served amid Oakley Hall’s historic interiors, and relaxed social events designed to encourage genuine connection between guests who share a love of storytelling, costume and classic romance.

Unlike large conventions, The Diamond Gala is intentionally intimate. With strictly limited tickets, the experience is about quality over crowds. Imagine unhurried moments, meaningful encounters and the rare luxury of truly soaking it all in. On-site accommodation allows guests to stay within the magic from start to finish, without ever needing to leave the estate.

Event Manager Sofia Wells explains, “The Diamond Gala is about escape, slowing down, dressing up and sharing something beautiful with people who love this world as much as you do. It’s elegant, immersive and genuinely special.”

Tickets are on sale now, with a range of packages available combining event access, dining and accommodation. With only 400 places available, demand is expected to be high.
