This is an opportunity to go back in time, where lots of people are wearing period clothes and all of them eating period lunches, and joining in period dancing! Costumes are not required, of course. But for people who have them, this is a chance to indulge ourselves and wear them out and about!


P.E.E.R.S. is the Period Events & Entertainments Re-Creation Society, which puts on different events with period themes throughout the year around the San Francisco Bay area.

(Check out the pictures from their 2007
Pride & Prejudice picnic here.)

Most of us from Thither will be there and we hope you will join us for a delightful afternoon!
