Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn has taken the Internet by storm, and if you missed out on the riotous Saltburn party earlier this month, fear not. Another exciting Saltburn-themed event is coming to town. This time, it’s taking over the opulent grounds of Rippon Lea Estate. Immerse yourself in the decadent surrounds, and dance like you’re at Oliver’s birthday party. There will be a dance class hosted by Neville Parry, picnic hampers for luxurious feasting and access to the ballroom and gardens of this 19th century space. Twilight at the Mansion: Saltburn will take place on Thursday March 7, from 7pm to 10pm.
‘Twilight at the Mansion: Saltburn’ at Rippon Lea
Leap and twirl triumphantly through the picturesque Rippon Lea Estate at this fabulous Saltburn party. Renowned choreographer, Neville Parry, will be leading the dancefloor in the grand ballroom. So, if you’re nervous about your moves, don’t worry! With over a decade of experience, you’ll be in good hands as he guides you through Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s iconic Murder on the Dancefloor.
“The Rippon Lea mansion was the ideal choice to host this event,” said Parry. “From the graceful ballroom to the expansive outdoor alfresco and courtyard, its grandeur perfectly mirrors the backdrop of the film.”
This is the first event by the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) that’s centred around pop culture. Guests are encouraged to dress up, as if they were attending Oliver’s birthday party. If you’re struggling for ideas, search for vintage clothing at VAULT in the Block Arcade.
The gates will open at 7pm, followed by the dance class at 7:30pm. Then, at 8:30pm, the space will light up with a dance party featuring music from the film.
“The film’s soundtrack effortlessly transports you back to the early 2000s, immersing you in an authentic and unforgettable experience,” said Philip Martins, interim CEO of the National Trust of Australia (Victoria). “This is something we wanted to create with this event, a real-life mansion movie story – right here in Melbourne.”
All that dancing is sure to work up an appetite! You can pre-order a picnic hamper to enjoy in the gardens. Light snacks will also be available for purchase at the bar. Picnic hampers are great for groups of two to six people.
