Mayfair – A Regency Fantasy Larp: Run 2

Welcome to the year 1815 and to Mayfair, one of the most fashionable parts of London. During this year’s social season, eligible young people and their parents will spend their mornings on social calls, afternoons with activities in the park, and evenings at extravagant dinners and romantic balls. It’s time for the young people to fall in love and to make their families proud by securing good matches. Sometimes those two are not compatible.

Mayfair is a larp about romance, family, stories, and the London season. It is inspired by the romantic takes on regency society that can be found in shows such as Bridgerton and Sanditon and at larps such as Social Season, Lies & Liability, and Banbury Tales. Mayfair is not a historically accurate event, but rather uses the popular culture perception of the Regency era to create a vibes-based setting. Therefore, we are calling it a Regency fantasy larp. This also means that costumes do not need to be period-appropriate and that this might be the time to pull out costumes that fit the general silhouette but are made of very unhistoric materials or where you incorporate slightly earlier or later fashion in your character’s wardrobe.
