The Austen women would have worked at sewing and needlework for much of the time, making and mending clothes for themselves, family and the poor. We can imagine them, gathered around the fire in the Drawing Room, chatting, sharing news, gossip and jokes as they stitched.
Join Jane Austen House’s modern day version of that sewing circle for a relaxed afternoon of knitting or needlework, plenty of tea and cake, and of course lively conversation!
Bring your own project to work on, enjoy tea, coffee and cake, make new friends and share tips and ideas in the beautiful and relaxed surroundings of Jane Austen’s cottage garden.
