The Journal

What we are learning about the social season, written down: where the big events came from, how to behave and what to wear at them, and the sport at their centre. Every article links its sources at the bottom.

11 October 2026 The history of the Season, from palace ballrooms to Royal Ascot How the London Season began, who it was for, why 12 August marks its end, and how it became the summer of events you can go to today.

One email a month with what we have published on the social season: its history, etiquette, dress codes and the sport behind the big events.
