Tucked away in the rolling landscape of West Yorkshire, Harewood House is far more than a historic country estate. It is a quietly prolific star of the screen, with its magnificent House, lake and landscapes providing the backdrop for some of film and television’s most memorable productions. Now, Harewood takes on one of its most iconic roles yet: Pemberley, the grand country estate of Mr Darcy, in Dolly Alderton’s highly anticipated adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
Join us for an exclusive three-hour experience and step into the world of Pemberley, exploring the real locations that feature on screen and discovering the stories behind their transformation for this landmark production.
Your experienced guide will take you to the key locations around Harewood where filming took place, from the grand interiors of the House to the landscapes and views that became part of this adaptation of Austen’s iconic novel. Along the way, discover how Harewood was prepared for its starring role and what it took to transform a working historic house into one of literature’s most famous country estates.
Hear how the House team worked closely with the production, including the extraordinary preparations required before filming could begin. This included temporarily uninstalling the Austen exhibition that was on display at Harewood during the summer of 2025, making way for the production and allowing the House to be transformed for the world of Pride and Prejudice.
This is an opportunity to see Harewood from a completely different perspective: to stand where the cameras stood, discover the locations behind some of the adaptation’s most memorable scenes, and hear the stories that happened behind the scenes.
Whether you are a lifelong Austen fan, a lover of film and television, or simply curious to discover more of Harewood, this exclusive experience offers a rare opportunity to explore the House and landscape through its newest and most celebrated role: Pemberley.
