Exhibition: Filming Sense and Sensibility at Rainham Hall

Rainham Hall was used as a film location for a major new UK film Sense and Sensibility. See a new exhibition with costumes from the film and uncover the process of filming at a National Trust house.

Come and see a brand new exhibition at Rainham Hall about the process of filming of major new UK film Sense and Sensibility. In two of the rooms used for filming an exhibition displays costumes and props from the film and charts the process and experience as the House was transformed into the interior of Mrs Jennings House (played by Fiona Shaw) in London which is key location for the novel set in the 1790s following the lives of sisters Elinor (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and Marianne (Esme Creed Miles). There will be an accessible, free element of this exhibition in the Coach House at Rainham Hall.

Local visitors who live in the RM13 postcode get into the Hall for free throughout the year. This exhibition at Rainham Hall is running from Thursday 24 September to Saturday 19 December 2026.

Rainham Hall is a short, two-minute walk from Rainham station – just turn left when leaving the main station building and you’ll quickly be back in the 1790s!
