The Thorpeness Meare is a boating lake like no other.
Dug by hand, the lake with its islands covers sixty acres and has over 40 acres of water.
Every year the Marmalade Ball is held at the Thorpeness Meare. For many, this is the event of year and I now know why.
This year the theme was Moulin Rouge, so as you can imagine it was all about feather boas, head dresses and bow ties.
The marquee itself was quite literally a scene from the movie, taking us all out of Thorpeness and to Paris for the night.
We decided to go all out and bought a dinner ticket. With all the entertainment and the amazing food, it was well worth it.
Can-can and burlesque dancers kept us entertained with an extremely impressive pre dinner performance.
Following the dinner was a live band and dancing then a DJ taking us into the early hours of the morning. To finish the night, we all rowed back home across the meare - not your normal transport home!
Overall such a special night, I will definitely be back next year.
