To celebrate 200 years of the popular publication, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, UCC and the Irish Heritage Trust are hosting a week long summer school in Fota House between Sunday 23rd – Friday 28th June.

A must for anyone who is a fan of the works of Jane Austen, this week long summer school will utilise the expertise of UCC for the society, style, culture, food as well as the literature of the regency period, and Letta Jones internationally respected garden historian, will contribute to the programme, exploring Fota’s world renowned arboretum and pleasure gardens.
