🍂📖 Autumn and Winter at Jane Austen's House 📖❄️

Jane Austen’s House, in the pretty village of Chawton near Wi******er, has a wonderful autumn and winter season ahead with literary festivals, yuletide events and the author’s birthday celebrations.

📚 Discover over 200 years of Jane Austen publishing history in the brand-new permanent exhibition, Beautiful Books. Showcasing early editions, illustrations and special editions, this exhibition tells the fascinating story of Jane Austen’s work in publication from her death in 1817, right up to the present day.

📖 From 17 to 20 September, the autumnal Persuasion Festival features tours, talks and workshops with a magical evening of Jane Austen and music thrown in for good measure.

🌙 Atmospheric Twilight Tours take place with a spooky Halloween special on 31 October and a Christmas twist on select days throughout November and December.

✂️ Get crafty and make paper decorations on 14 November, ready to adorn the House. Or join a relaxing workshop on Saturday 28 November to create your very own beautiful decoupage bauble ready to decorate your tree.

🕯️Enjoy a Christmas Concert by Candlelight on Saturday 5 December, featuring music by the exceptionally talented soprano and pianist duo The Little Song Party, with readings and narration by actor Tamzin Merchant, who played Georgiana Darcy in Pride & Prejudice (2005).

🎁 Families will delight in the Jane Austen’s House Birthday Present Trail from 18 November to 30 December – hidden in rooms throughout the House, while little ones will also love Austen's Music Miniatures on both 30 October or 11 December – a magical 50-minute classical concert designed especially for babies and toddlers.

🎄 The festive display Christmas Presents & Pages will run from 18 November to 30 December. Drop in to see the House dressed up for Christmas.
