Outdoor screening of Pride and Prejudice at Castle Howard

Pride & Prejudice is coming to the grounds of Castle Howard this summer.

The special outdoor cinema screening, organised by Adventure Cinema, will take place on Sunday, July 19, running from 6.30pm until 10.15pm at the stately home north of York.

People should bring their own seating to settle in the grounds of the North Yorkshire historic estate for the adaptation of Jane Austen’s second published novel, starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen.

The romantic classic features the Bennet family and follows one of the daughters, Elizabeth Bennet, as she navigates social expectations, family pressures, and her initially misjudged relationship with the wealthy, reserved Fitzwilliam Darcy.

The event is open to all ages, with children required to be accompanied by an adult. Under twos can attend for free.

A range of ticket options is available. Standard tickets for under 12s are priced at £10.92, while premium tickets, costing £25.48, include a luxury deck chair in a prime viewing position.

A higher-tier “Director’s View” package, which includes front-row seating, a blanket, themed treat bag and a copy of the novel, has already sold out.

The screening is expected to last around three hours and 45 minutes, including the film and event timings.

Outdoor cinema events have grown in popularity across North Yorkshire in recent years, with historic venues such as Castle Howard providing a dramatic setting for classic films during the summer months.
