Event details
Friday 13 to Sunday 15 June
Entry is included with all 'house and garden' and 'garden' tickets.
Join us as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Jane Austen, alongside the 20th anniversary of Chatsworth House being immortalised on screen as 'Pemberley', home of one of Austen's best-loved characters Mr Darcy, in the 2005 film adaptation starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen.
On each of three days you can experience a range of talks, garden tours and dressing up opportunities inspired by the Regency era. There will also be an Austen-inspired live theatre production in the garden with audience participation.
Regency dress is optional but encouraged.
