About This Attraction
Jane Austen’s House in the picturesque village of Chawton is the house where Jane Austen lived and wrote. It was in this country cottage that Jane penned her novels, including the timeless Pride and Prejudice.
Today, Jane Austen’s House is a Grade I listed building and one of the most important literary sites in the world. You can freely explore Jane’s house and beautiful cottage garden whilst learning about her life through exhibitions and displays. Hands-on activities for all ages can be found alongside in-depth information panels and family objects, housed in the rooms that Jane would have known. Display highlights include Jane’s jewellery, her letters, first editions of her books and the table where she wrote her much loved novels. Activity trails for children are available throughout the year and a small prize may be awarded when completed!
