Jane Austen's World Brought to Life
Jane Austen was not only Bath's most famous resident, but her novels and the television and film adaptations of them have probably made the South western City of Bath more famous to most people than the fabulous Roman Baths themselves.The annual Jane Austen festival features at least 30 different Regency themed events, from tea parties and 18th century dance workshops, to street fairs selling Regency themed foods and goods. Here are some of the highlights:
- Costumed, Regency Promenade
- Festival dance workshops
- 18th century Country Dances with buffet suppers
- An 18th century public breakfast
- Walking tours
- Costume photography sessions (bring your own camera)
- Tea with Jane in an elegant Regency dining room
- Live performances of Austen adaptations
