Dearest Friends,
It is with the greatest pleasure that we invite you to an afternoon of refined enjoyment and cultural pursuits at the historic Oldfields Schools on Saturday, May 2, 2026, or make it a full weekend with overnight opportunities Friday and Saturday night!
To make merry the entire weekend, we suggest The Pemberley Experience beginning Friday, May 1st! Feast like the Darcys at Manor Mill, dance at a special Ball at Oldfields, and enjoy campus strolls and Regency crafts on Saturday morning. Extend your Saturday with dinner and a night at the David Niven Theatre to see the Manor Mill Playhouse perform “The Complete Jane Austen: Abridged” (with a special after-talk). Awake refreshed Sunday for breakfast and a trip to Ladew Gardens.
For those with slightly less time, join us for The Longbourn Experience: Saturday afternoon festivities, dinner, and the theatre performance.
Should you desire a restful end to the excitement, The Netherfield Experience offers Saturday night stay, breakfast, and the Ladew Gardens trip.
Delights are to be had for everyone and every budget at Jane Austen Day (and weekend). Your presence would lend an air of distinction, merriment, and wit to our gathering, and we sincerely hope you will favour us with your attendance.
We remain, with the warmest regards,
Your friends at Jane Austen Fest
