Christmas Concert
£65.00 per person
*SOLD OUT*
Date: Saturday 5 December 2026
Time: 3pm - 5pm
Location: This event will take place at Jane Austen’s House in Chawton.
Join us for a very special festive experience filled with music, stories and celebration at Jane Austen's House!
From 3-5pm, as twilight falls and our musicians warm up, there will be time to explore the House by candlelight and to hear stories of special objects from the collection, themed around Christmas and gift-giving.
Drop into the Historic Kitchen for an informal Christmas drinks party, enjoy mince pies and mulled wine and raise a glass to our favourite authoress!
At 4pm we’ll move into the Drawing Room, where Jane herself practiced the piano each morning, for an intimate musical performance by acclaimed musical duo The Little Song Party (soprano Penelope Appleyard and pianist Jonathan Delbridge), tied together with guest narration by actress Tamzin Merchant.
The concert will feature music from Jane Austen's own music books, including her handwritten notation of Nos Galan, alongside other festive songs she would have known. Learn about Regency Christmas traditions and stories, and hear some favourite extracts from Jane Austen’s works. There will be a little audience carolling too - so come in good voice to raise the roofbeams!
