EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the enchanting Craven Lodge Fancy Ball of 1936, an unforgettable New Year's Eve event held in the picturesque village of Melton, Leicestershire. This photograph, taken from the pages of The Tatler, showcases the elegance and whimsy of the evening as society's brightest stars donned prehistoric fancy dress costumes, transporting guests to a bygone era. Amongst the lively crowd, Lady Ursula Manners, dressed as a saber-toothed tiger, can be seen sharing a playful moment with Mr. Parker-Bowles, who is attired as a caveman. Nearby, Lady Dorothea Head, dressed as a woolly mammoth, gracefully dances with Lord Craven, while Mr. Eric Smith, in a dinosaur costume, engages in animated conversation with Lady Susan Beatty, dressed as a cavewoman. The Craven Lodge Fancy Ball was a highlight of the social calendar, and the event's historical theme brought out the creativity and flair of the attendees. Other notable guests included Mr. Martin Rollo, dressed as a caveman, Lady Normanton, who donned a triceratops costume, and Mr. Bill Hulse, dressed as a woolly rhinoceros. The evening was filled with laughter, merriment, and a sense of adventure, as the guests reveled in the unique atmosphere of the prehistoric-themed party. The Craven Lodge Fancy Ball of 1936 was truly a night to remember, and this photograph captures the essence of an era long past.
