Doors open 6:00. Tea and scones (included in ticket price) will be served at 6:30. Films begin at 7:00.
Romance, wit, and a good cup of tea are a winning combination in this celebration of author Jane Austen on film. Austen's novels delightfully skewer the foibles of the landed gentry of the Regency era with uncommonly pointed humor, making them classics that are still enjoyed by millions today.
Join us at White Branches -- Mount Vernon's magical tearoom -- for three period-piece films based on the novels of Jane Austen. White Branches is located at 100 E Montgomery St on the second floor of Mount Vernon’s historic Old Town Grainery building.
Before each film, join us for tea! Your ticket purchase includes a pre-show freshly-baked fruit scone with vanilla glaze and cup of Creme de la Earl tea.
Other food and drinks will be available for purchase, including White Branches menu bite boxes (limited availability), wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages along with cake, popcorn, and candy.

August 18: Pride & Prejudice
In this adaptation of Jane Austen's most beloved novel, Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley) lives with her mother, father and sisters in the English countryside. As the eldest, she faces mounting pressure from her parents to marry.
When the outspoken Elizabeth is introduced to the handsome and upper-class Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen), she believes he is the last man she could ever marry, but as their lives become intertwined, she finds herself captivated by the man she has sworn to hate forever.
"Dare I say that even Jane Austen herself would have delighted in the final triumph of Ms. Knightley's quick-witted Elizabeth in this film? Yes, I do, and all the highbrow and middlebrow cinephobes of the world be damned." —Andrew Sarris, Observer
