Thursday 25 September
Gates open 2.15pm | Cream tea 2.30-3.15pm | Talk 3.30-4.30pm
"I hope you saw her petticoat, six inches deep in mud, I am absolutely certain; and the gown which had been let down to hide it not doing its office" said Mrs Hurst bitchily to Miss Caroline Bingley about Elizabeth Bennet in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice"
Come and participate in a light-hearted whimsical discussion about what might have been worn under ladies' dresses in the early part of the 19th Century.
With gates opening 2.15pm, enjoy a cream tea upstairs in the Brewhouse tea-room 2.30-3.15pm before venturing over to the Dining Parlour on the ground floor of the house for this informal talk 3.30-4.30pm.
Cream Tea options: Help yourself to urns of tea or coffee and a fruit scone with jam and cream.
