To mark the bicentenary of Jane Austen’s passing on 18th July, Mercure Box Hill Burford Bridge Hotel is offering an exclusive literary experience for guests to enjoy this summer.
Available to book with the hotel directly from 12th July until 10th September, guests can enjoy a limited edition, immersive Jane Austen experience comprised of a themed afternoon tea and a bespoke walking map, designed to explore Box Hill’s rich literary history.
The afternoon tea, priced at £19.95, features Austen’s favourite Bath Buns and cucumber sandwiches, and guests can book by calling the hotel directly. Those visiting the hotel will be able to request a copy of the limited edition Local Stories walking map which has been developed in conjunction with the Dorking History Museum to celebrate the life and works of Jane Austen.
Austen is said to have written part of her famed novel ‘Emma’ whilst staying at Mercure Box Hill Burford Bridge Hotel – you can spot her infamous quote on the wall of Knightley’s Restaurant, where you can experience fine British contemporary cuisine in an exquisite, beautiful setting: ‘They had a very fine day for Box Hill… Nothing was wanting but to be happy when they got there. Seven miles were travelled in expectation and enjoyment and everybody had a burst of admiration on first arriving’.
