‘The girls were wild for dancing; and the evenings ended, occasionally, in an unpremeditated little ball.’
Persuasion

On the evening of Dress Up Day, we are staying open late for an atmospheric evening experience – join us for music and song, pop up performances, elegant muslins and fabulous bonnets!

There will be live piano music in the Drawing Room by Gillian Dooley and Laura Klein, who will also deliver pop up talks on Jane Austen and Music.

We’ll also be joined by actors Helen Davidge and Erika Sanderson who will perform pop up scenes from Emma in the House and garden.

For something extra special, join Zack Pinsent of Pinsent Tailoring for a talk and dressing demonstration: Dressing Mr Knightley (ticket required).
