Have you heard the news? The outdoor screenings of Pride and Prejudice are returning to Chatsworth...

It was Joe Wright's 2005 adaptation of Jane Austen's celebrated novel, Pride and Prejudice, that immortalised Chatsworth on screen as 'Pemberley' (aka Mr Darcy's House).

To celebrate, our outdoor screening of the popular adaptation will be staged on the South Lawn with Chatsworth's famous façade as your backdrop.

The South Lawn is not usually open to visitors, but will be familiar to fans of this Austen adaptation as it's Lizzie's first view of Pemberley (and, yes, those are the steps Lizzie runs down when Darcy discovers her in his house!).

Pack your picnic, rugs, and chairs (low-backed please), and settle in for a night with the Bennets, the Bingleys, and, of course, Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy.

Regency dress optional, but very much encouraged!

Drinks and Snacks

Flora's Temple Teas will be open for hot and cold drinks, snacks, sandwiches, hot pasties, and ice cream.

Shop the Austen Collection

Our Orangery Gift Shop, located in the garden, will stay open until 7.30pm and offers a selection of Austen inspired products, as well as gifts, homewares, and food and drink products from the estate and local makers.

You can also shop the collection online.
