Join sewing historian Dr Serena Dyer as she stitches a new gown. Home sewing was common practice in 18th century Britain, and the Austen women were experienced needlewomen. Using sewing methods gleaned from the examination of garments from the 18th and 19th centuries, and wearing other recreated garments from the period, Serena recreates the dressmaking techniques and practices that clothed Austen and her family.

As part of our Jane Austen Anniversary Festival, marking the 206th anniversary of her death, we’ll be creating a hand-tied bouquet made of handwritten letters to Jane, along with flowers from the garden, that we’ll deliver to her grave in Winchester Cathedral on 18 July.
Visit over the weekend to add your personal note to the bouquet â whether you wish to share your thoughts about her characters, reflections on your favourite novel, a story about how you find Jane inspiring or a favourite quote from her works. From heartfelt tributes to âimportant nothingsâ, we want to include them all!

âI never in my life saw anything more elegant than their dresses.â
Pride & Prejudice
Join us for our popular annual Dress Up Day! On this special Saturday, we’ll be dressing up in our finest Regency outfits and we’d love you to join us!
It’s the perfect excuse to break out your favourite Regency regalia and pose, picnic or promenade at Jane Austen’s House and our pretty cottage garden. It’s a way to step back in time and get a sense of life in Regency England, and to experience the House in a new way.
This year we’ll be joined by Meg Lara Atelier – a brilliant designer and maker who specialises in sustainable costume design. She’ll be creating a Regency dress in a day using reclaimed materials. Drop in for a chat, see what she’s up to, and view some of her beautiful creations.
For one day only, visitors in Regency dress will be entitled to a 10% discount in the Gift Shop – the perfect excuse to treat yourself to more Regency and Jane Austen goodies!
We can’t wait to see your Regency outfits – but if you don’t have a Regency dress of your own, we’ll have lots available for you to try on.
We’ll be taking photographs throughout the day. If youâre happy to appear in photographs to be used on our website and social media, weâd love to include you!
