Event details
Friday 12 - Sunday 14 June 2026
Entry is included with all 'house and garden' and 'garden' tickets.
Join us as we celebrate Jane Austen and pastimes from the Regency period in the grounds of Pemberley (aka Mr Darcy's House), as immortalised on screen in the 2005 film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen.
On each of three days, you can experience expert talks from Austen scholar and author Professor John Mullen, the Director of Jane Austen's House, Lizzie Dunford, and 3D designer and Regency costume specialist Janette Wilkin, plus entertainment, Regency-inspired dressing up opportunities, and a grand promenade, all included with your house and garden, or garden ticket.
Additional activities, such as carriage rides, embroidery workshops and afternoon tea will also be available and on sale soon.
Regency dress is optional but encouraged.
More information will be released soon.
