Your worldwide guide to Jane Austen 250th Events
Just over a week before the Christmas of 1775, a baby girl was born in the small Hampshire parish of Steventon; two and a half centuries later, she is considered one of the greatest novelists to have ever lived. At the Jane Austen blog, we always look to celebrate the work of Jane Austen, her contemporaries, and those who have followed in her footsteps. However, next year is a big year. 2025 will mark 250 years of Jane Austen. Many organisations at home in England and abroad are making plans to mark the occasion, and we thought we’d aggregate them here so that you can easily find out what’s going on where you are. We’ll keep this list updated as more events are announced, so if you have something you would like added, you will find out contact details at the end of this post.
