This year marks Jane Austen’s 250th birthday and we’re celebrating throughout June with a host of themed events and activities!

We'll be highlighting Belton's role as Rosings Park in the 1995 BBC miniseries of Pride and Prejudice with a filming trail highlighting the locations used in the programme.

Enjoy historical dance performances by the Bonnets and Breeches Dance Society taking place in the mansion’s Marble Hall and meet them as they wander. Bonnets and Breeches will be here on Sunday 1 June, Sunday 8 June, Thursday 12 June, Thursday 19 June and Saturday 28 June.

There will also be regency costumes matching those used in the show on display in the mansion, alongside an exhibition of objects related to Jane Austen.

Please note, the mansion will be closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with Spotlight on Conservation tours available to book on these days from our events page.
