Join us for a peaceful afternoon reading in the beautiful grounds of Jane Austen’s House. No need to book – just drop in and make yourself comfortable with your own book, or use the time to examine some of the works in our extensive reference library.
With reference books on Austen studies and all aspects of Georgian and Regency history, as well as an impressive collection of Austen novels in translation, there is plenty to enjoy!
We’ll be on hand to help you find what you need, or to make a book recommendation!
This session will take place in the cosy Learning Centre tucked behind Jane Austen’s House.
