Bridgerton on Netflix – A twilight screening, surprise appearances from stars Nicola Coughlan, Luke Newton and showrunner Jess Brownell, beautifully themed storefronts, and a majestic garden soiree that is sure to be the talk of the season. Join us as we promenade through these special moments from a week of Bridgerton in Bowral.Â
Bridgerton in Bowral, Netflix’s weeklong celebration of the upcoming third season of the iconic Shondaland series Bridgerton in the beautiful Southern Highlands of New South Wales, has officially drawn to a dazzling close.
From 16-23 April, regency romance swept through Bowral, as storefronts were transformed with over 3,000m of bunting, masses of native florals and 500 roses set up by 12 florists, and thousands of Bridgerton fans from across Australia and around the globe dressed in their regency best, experienced a fan event like no other.
In a special preview of the eagerly anticipated release of Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1 on 16 May, 2,000 lucky fans were treated to an exclusive screening of the first episode of the season at the Empire Cinema.Â
The garden party soiree, which took place on the final day of the celebration, was set amidst a backdrop of regal gardens and the historic charm of Milton Park Country House, with guests treated to Bridgerton inspired activities including palm and tarot readers, artists, a hot air balloon, regency dance classes and picnic fare.Â
Local businesses proudly displayed the Bridgerton spirit, transforming their storefronts for the week and providing fans with the opportunity to indulge in special offerings and treasured keepsakes to remember the moment.

ABOUT BRIDGERTON
From Shondaland and new showrunner, Jess Brownell, Bridgerton is back for its third season and finds Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) has finally given up on her long-held crush on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) after hearing his disparaging words about her last season.
She has, however, decided it’s time to take a husband, preferably one who will provide her with enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, far away from her mother and sisters. But lacking in confidence, Penelope’s attempts on the marriage mart fail spectacularly.
Meanwhile, Colin has returned from his summer travels with a new look and a serious sense of swagger. But he’s disheartened to realize that Penelope, the one person who always appreciated him as he was, is giving him the cold shoulder. Eager to win back her friendship, Colin offers to mentor Penelope in the ways of confidence to help her find a husband this season.
But when his lessons start working a little too well, Colin must grapple with whether his feelings for Penelope are truly just friendly. Complicating matters for Penelope is her rift with Eloise (Claudia Jessie), who has found a new friend in a very unlikely place, while Penelope’s growing presence in the ton makes it all the more difficult to keep her Lady Whistledown alter ego a secret.
