This event takes place in the Hartington Room at the Stables.

This special Chatsworth and Austen-themed embroidery workshop will be led by Derbyshire-based embroidery artist, Abigail Rose Creative.

Under expert guidance, learn a pastime practised by the 'most accomplished' of Mr Darcy's society in the Regency era.

In this workshop, you'll use time-honoured techniques and learn essential embroidery stitches to create your own Austen-inspired hoop.

This bespoke design features florals growing from the pages of an open book, surrounded by Pride and Prejudice's famous opening line, "It is a truth universally acknowledged...".

Beginners welcome. All materials will be provided.
