About This Attraction
Jane Austen’s House in the picturesque Hampshire village of Chawton provides the perfect day out for families. It was in this enchanting cottage that Jane Austen’s genius flourished and where she wrote, revised, and had published all six of her treasured novels, including the timeless Pride and Prejudice.
Today visitors can step back in time to 1816 and follow in Jane’s footsteps, exploring the home and garden that Jane knew and loved, uncovering the story of her life and times, and getting up-close to objects from the museum’s unparalleled Austen collection, including Jane’s letters, jewellery and the little table at which she wrote her much loved novels.
Younger visitors can discover the house and garden via a beautifully illustrated family trail, get creative making lavender bags, try their hand at Regency garden games, enjoy a New Forest ice cream in the pretty cottage garden, browse the Gift Shop for special keepsakes and let off steam at the village playground. Pack a picnic to enjoy in Jane Austen’s garden or at one of the picnic tables in the stunning village parkland.
