Piano Practice at Jane Austen's House

As part of their Persuasion Festival, Jane Austen's House welcome competent pianists to practice on their 1813 Clementi square piano for an hour each morning - just as Jane Austen used to do!

During the Persuasion Festival at Jane Austen's House, the first hour of the day will be devoted to piano practice in the Drawing Room. The House will be open to visitors, so if you wish to play, please be prepared for an appreciative audience! A selection of sheet music from the period will be provided, as well as printed copies of Jane Austen’s handwritten music books, so you can practice the songs that Jane herself played in this very room, should you wish to.

Times: 10am -11am

Tickets: £17.50 (to include entry to Jane Austen's House)

This event is part of the Persuasion Festival 2 - 21 September 2025
