Join us at Oldspeak on Tuesday, July 14th for a delightful evening when we transcend time and celebrate the release of Sometime This Century by Samantha Silva. 📖

After much pomp and circumstance at our last affair for dear Jane’s birthday, we felt it was far past time to hold another festive occasion. Our summer ball follows the book release of dear friend and local author, Samantha Silva. Sometime This Century is a Regency-era time travel romantic comedy novel and the perfect inspiration for our ball.

So, in the spirit of the book, and of our general need for levity this season, we invite you to our Time Travellers Ball. Dress for the occasion — whether that means wearing your best Bridgerton apparel, a Victorian remake, or take creative liberty and don a style from another favorite era throughout time; costumes and your genuine enthusiasm are not only encouraged but a necessity. Limited tickets available. 🎟️ Link in bio.
