SPRH Visits.... Berrington Hall

Sunday 21 June 2015

Hello there,

Everyone enjoys a day trip and I'm no different. I often take pictures on our trips out so I thought I'd start a new series on this blog, where I share with you where I've been. This might even give you a idea of places to go yourselves.

This week I visited Berrington Hall, which is in Herefordshire near Leominster. The Hall is owned by the National Trust and it is an 18th century house and gardens.







I went with my parents last Wednesday as I had a day off work and I was excited to see that the Jane Austen costume exhibit was still there. I'm a big fan of all things Austen, there's something about the characters and the love stories that just can't be beat.

In the house itself was around nine costumes including Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson's costumes from Sense and Sensibility as well as Billie Piper's costume from Mansfield Park and a Anne Hathaway costume from Becoming Jane. They worked so well in the house and was just like the actors could have sat in the rooms and done scenes from the stories.

The Second picture was taken in the walled gardens, which was so beautiful and perfect to just sit in admiring the views and colours that the garden had to offer.

I had a lovely day out strolling around the grounds with the dog and visiting the house. If you want to see the Austen costumes, you need to be quick as they're only there until 30th June but the Hall itself is definitely worth a visit too.

Lots of Love,
Clare
