Since 2020, Meaghan Grace Hinkis, First Soloist with The Royal Ballet, has staged three weekend ballet galas in Dorset to raise funds for the performing arts, after the devastation caused by the Covid lockdowns.
Set deep in West Dorset in the stunning grounds of Minterne House, top dancers from The Royal Ballet and other companies will present an outdoor performance of classical and contemporary ballet on 13 and 14 September 2025. An audience of 400 each evening will have the privilege of seeing these world-renowned dancers perform at close quarters in a truly beautiful setting, with both stage and audience under cover.
Curated by Royal Ballet First Soloist Meaghan Grace Hinkis, Ballet at Minterne will bring world class ballet to Dorset whilst raising desperately needed funds for the Royal Opera House Recovery Fund and other dance charities still struggling to survive following the devastation of the pandemic.
