Using pages from old, discarded copies of Jane Austen's novels, participants create delicate festive shapes such as stars and snowflakes.

Tips & Advice

  • Book general House admission for the event’s correct date and time slot, as this is required to attend the workshop.
  • Use an Annual Pass if you have one; the workshop is included with House entry and needs no separate event ticket.
  • Allow time for your preferred visit: you can make one star or stay and craft throughout the morning.
  • For free parking, use the car park at the end of Gosport Road; the Redemptorist Publications car park is also available on weekends.
  • If travelling on the 64 bus, alight at Lincoln Green and walk to the House; avoid Chawton Roundabout because crossing the dual carriageway is unsafe.
