Do you fancy a spot of Regency cricket? Or is lolling on the sofa more your thing?
This delightful talk from History Wardrobe explores pleasures and pastimes in Jane Austen’s era, from ambling in the shrubbery to enchanting embroidery. Historian Lucy Adlington will showcase marvellous original fashions for sport and dancing along with amusing readings from Austen’s novels. Lucy Adlington brings textiles and fashion through the ages to life with her joyful, fact-filled and inimitable presentation style.
Please note this event is in the Nursery on the 2nd floor of Gawthorpe Hall, due to the historic nature of the building there is no lift.
£15 Booking essential, includes glass of wine.
