Pride and Prejudice: Our 2025 Theme

"Do you dance, Mr Darcy?"


In 2025, we celebrate the 250th birthday of English novelist Jane Austen, widely regarded as one of the UK's greatest writers. Her sharp social satire, masterful wit, and the enduring relevance of her novels have made her cherished across the world โ€“ including in China, where more than 50 translations of her works have been published since 1935.


Perhaps her most famous novel, Pride and Prejudice, needs no introduction. This timeless tale of romance, happiness, and class in aristocratic England has captivated generations of readers and inspired countless adaptations for stage and screen.


At our Beijing retelling of the Netherfield Ball, you can expect an evening of dancing, fine wines, delicious dining, and entertainment lasting late into the night. Guests will enjoy lively activities, a dazzling charity raffle and silent auction, and plenty of surprises along the way.

Party all weekend in the clouds!
