On the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth, join us for a special tour of her beloved home.

~

Join us for a very special guided tour of Jane Austen’s House, walking in Jane Austen’s footsteps and discovering the house she knew and loved, whilst learning about her life here in Chawton and her extraordinary legacy.

On this fascinating tour, led by an expert guide, you’ll learn about Jane’s life here in Hampshire and discover precious objects from her life, including her tiny writing table, the topaz crosses that inspired Mansfield Park, and rare first editions of her novels. Hear stories about Jane’s writing life, and the publication and reception of her novels as we explore the rooms where they were written and revised, and where Jane read aloud from a published copy Pride and Prejudice for the very first time.

This unique tour of the House will also explore aspects of Jane Austen’s legacy, using objects from the collection to set the scene.

As part of a small group, you’ll enjoy exclusive access to Jane Austen’s House before it opens to the public, with plenty of time to chat and ask questions of our knowledgeable guide.
