Grand Regency Costumed Promenade
Saturday 14th September 2024

The official opening of the Jane Austen Festival starts with a spectacular Grand Regency Costumed Promenade through the centre of Bath. Led by our own town crier, stroll through this beautiful city for approximately 1 hour ending at the Festival Fayre. To take part you must purchase a wristband and be in Regency attire.

By purchasing a wristband you are contributing towards the costs of road closures, traffic control, Renteq road stewards and the safety marshals who keep everyone promenading safely, away from those new fangled horseless carriages. Our 2024 Promenaders (and those of the future) thank you greatly for supporting the Festival and this magnificent opening event.
