The Park Theatre in Jaffrey has announced details of the Downton Abbey Monadnock Celebration, a month-long series of events honoring the beloved British drama.

Highlights include a Downton Abbey Period Dress Contest (Sept. 13 at 12 p.m.), three Downton Abbey High Teas (Sept. 17, 20, and 24 at 4 p.m.), and The Butler Race (Sept. 20 at 12 p.m.), where participants dressed as butlers compete in a champagne tray relay. Local restaurants will also feature special Downton-inspired menus, with patrons eligible for a free popcorn at The Park Theatre concessions when presenting a participating receipt.
