Experience the life and times of Jane Austen in the house where she wrote most of her major works, including Pride and Prejudice.
About
Jane Austen's House Museum occupies the 17th-century house where Jane Austen spent the last eight years of her life, and produced most of her major works, including Pride and Prejudice. After Austen’s sister died in 1845, the house was used as worker housing until 1947 when Jane Austen's House Museum was established. Today, visitors will find a collection of the Austen’s personal effects and furnishings, including music books with pieces transcribed by Jane, a Clementi pianoforte, and a Hepplewhite bureau-bookcase containing several of her works. There are also three pieces of jewelry owned by the author, including a turquoise and gold ring that had been sold at auction to American singer Kelly Clarkson. Because of its historic importance, the British government placed an export ban on the ring, and the museum was able to purchase it with the help of a £100,000 anonymous donation. Throughout the year, the museum also hosts special events to further appreciation of Jane Austen, and to encourage new writers. For more information, please visit jane-austens-house-museum.org.uk

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
