About
18th December 2025
As the finale to our Jane Austen-inspired celebrations, join us for a 'Pride and Prejudice' themed ball in the month that would have marked her 250th birthday.
Begin the evening with drinks and canapés served in the Painted Hall followed by the opportunity to explore the north wing dressed for Christmas, which includes the Library, the Great Dining Room and the Sculpture Gallery. Both the Painted Hall and Sculpture Gallery were featured in Joe Wright's 2005 film adaptation of 'Pride and Prejudice' starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen.
Afterwards, experience a three-course dinner and Regency-style dancing in the Carriage House, in our Palladian style Grade I listed Stables.
