About

Jane Austen spent the final weeks of her life at No. 8 College Street, Winchester, and died there on the 18th July 1817. In the summer of 2025, Winchester College will open the house to the public for the first time, as part of a worldwide celebration of the 250th anniversary of Austen's birth. Through displays and artefacts, visitors will learn about Jane's connections with Winchester and the story of her last days.

Ticketed visits to No. 8 College Street will be available on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 4th June - 30th August 2025. Due to high demand, pre-booking is strongly recommended.
