āIt is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.ā
Pride & Prejudice
This special guided tour uses objects, paintings and the House itself to examine and celebrate Jane Austenās beloved novel, Pride & Prejudice.
Walking in Jane Austenās footsteps, youāll discover the rooms where Pride & PrejudiceĀ was revised and edited, and where Jane Austen read the novel aloud to a neighbour on the very day she received her first copy.
Moving from room to room, youāll see portraits of people Jane knew who may have inspired characters in the novel, and objects that help the story come to life.
We’ll finish with a special object show-and-tell, examining one of our First Editions of Pride & Prejudice up close.
After the tour, we invite you to drink tea with us in Jane’s beautiful cottage garden. This special tea party will celebrate high summer with strawberries and cream and of course, a refreshing cup (or two) of tea or coffee.
‘Miss Bennet was making tea, and Elizabeth pouring out the coffee, in so close a confederacy that there was not a single vacancy near her which would admit of a chair. ‘
Pride & Prejudice
This light-hearted and enjoyable tour shows off the House in a new way, teasing out stories and objects that relate to Jane Austenās classic work, and offering the opportunity to enjoy, examine and discussĀ Pride & Prejudice, and to experience Jane Austenās House in a new way.
