The gothic spires of Teviot Row House harbour the Northern Court. It’s grim up North, but its lords and ladies come together for a night of magical dancing and revelry, and you have been invited…
Get ready for a night of dancing, live entertainment (including a ceilidh and DJ!), crafts, storytelling, photo ops and tarot with your fellow romantasy fans in the gothic surroundings of Teviot Row House. Plus a welcome drink & canapes!
