10.30am - 12.30pm | £65, includes entry to the garden and Celebrating Jane Austen
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 Pemberley-inspired hoop. This bespoke design has been inspired by Chatsworth and celebrates 250 years since the birth of Jane Austen. It features delicate florals, the grand silhouette of Chatsworth, and a famous quote from Pride and Prejudice—the very words Lizzie utters upon first glimpsing Mr. Darcy’s grand estate.
