THE National Trust stately home, Dyffryn Gardens, is opening its doors to a special exhibition celebrating the costumes, craft and creativity behind a new BBC period production.
The Other Bennet Sister is now showing on BBC One and a section of Dyffryn House (normally closed to the public) will be hosting a stunning display of elaborate period costumes worn by the stars of the show, including Ella Bruccoleri, Ruth Jones, Tanya Reynolds and Indira Varma.
The costumes feature rich fabrics, intricate detailing and beautifully crafted silhouettes that bring the world of the Bennet sisters vividly to life. Alongside the costumes are accessories that complete each look – many worn in scenes filmed in Dyffryn House.
The exhibition offers a chance to explore parts of Dyffryn House that have been closed for conservation. Enter through the Morning Room on the South Terrace then through to the Red Drawing Room and Blue Drawing Room, uncovering Dyffryn’s history, behind-the-scenes photography and the role filming plays in supporting the important restoration work of the National Trust.
After the exhibition closes on 31st August, conservation work in these rooms will continue – making this a special moment to experience them as they are today.
The exhibition, that opens on Friday, 20th March, is free but the normal entrance charges to Dyffryn Gardens will apply.
