Events

This early-morning entry slot is intended for people who would prefer a quieter and calmer environment to experience the House. It is suitable for individuals or families with members who have sensory processing differences, autistic spectrum conditions or other sensory needs.

During this time we will reduce capacity in the House so there will be fewer visitors. We will also make some changes to reduce sensory input, including turning off all audio and video screens in the House. If there are other changes that would make your visit easier, please contact us to let us know in advance.

As part of our early opening, you will be able to explore the House and garden, and have the opportunity to take part in some family friendly activities.

The Historic Kitchen will be reserved as a quiet area for those needing to take a break. In good weather you may also wish to sit in the garden, which is very peaceful.

You can check out the layout of the House in advance by looking at our virtual tour.

Quiet visits will be offered on the first Wednesday of each month, where possible.

Back by popular demand! In 2024 our Virtual Book Club will run monthly from February – November, covering all of Jane Austen’s novels as well as her teenage works and letters. Bring your thoughts, ideas and observations… bring tea and quotes and questions… expect stimulating discussion and debate!

Join us for our Virtual Book Club – a lively online space in which we will discuss all things Jane Austen!

Our seventh session will focus on the autumnal Persuasion!

We’ll get the ball rolling with questions, ideas and provocations about the novel and then it’s over to you – as a group we’ll share thoughts, theories, favourites and best-bits.

Whether you love the book, audiobook or a film or stage adaptation (and whatever you think of the new film version), join us to share your love of this internationally beloved story. Why does it matter to you? What have you learned from it? Which bits always make you cry? Which characters do you adore, admire or despise?

Grab a cup of tea and join us for an hour of blissful Persuasion discussion with fellow Jane Austen fans around the world!
