Become a member of the Bennet family at Dyffryn Gardens

01 April 2026

Did you know that The Other Bennet Sister was filmed in Southern Wales, with Dyffryn Gardens playing a very special part in the captivating drama? As the drama unfolds on BBC One, you’re invited to experience The Other Bennet Sister beyond the screen. The house is opening its doors to a very special exhibition celebrating the incredible costumes created by Siân Jenkins.

Discover a stunning display of elaborate period costumes worn by the stars of the show, including Ella Bruccoleri, Ruth Jones, Tanya Reynolds and Indira Varma. Marvel at rich fabrics, intricate detailing and beautifully crafted silhouettes that bring the world of the Bennet sisters vividly to life. Alongside the costumes, you’ll find the accessories that complete each look - many worn in the sparkling scenes filmed in Dyffryn House.

The exhibition offers an exciting chance to explore parts of Dyffryn House that have been closed for conservation. Enter through the Morning Room on the South Terrace then journey through to the Red Drawing Room and Blue Drawing Room, uncovering Dyffryn’s remarkable history, behind-the-scenes photography and the role filming plays in supporting the important restoration work of the National Trust. Even after the exhibition closes on 31 August, conservation work in these rooms will continue - making this a special moment to experience them as they are today.

The exhibition is open Fridays to Mondays, 12 - 3pm. National Trust members have free entry to this exhibition.
