Jane Austen Festival Overview

The Jane Austen Festival in Bath is the largest and longest running Jane Austen Festival in the world. The first Jane Austen Festival in 2001 took place over a weekend at The Jane Austen Centre, Bath, and has since grown into a 10 day programme, drawing over 3500 people from around the world.

The festival begins with our Regency Costumed Promenade, which has been filling the streets of Bath with over 500 people in Regency dress since 2004 and holds the Guinness World Record for the ‘Largest gathering of people dressed in Regency costumes’. Full of bonnets, soldiers, and drummers the backdrop of Georgian Bath transports visitors back to the time of Jane Austen.

Throughout the 10 day event, we welcome visitors to enjoy events inspired by the timeless works of Jane Austen including: guided walks, costumed balls, theatrical performances, talks and much more!

Keeping the spirit of the festival alive in the Summer, we are also delighted to host the Jane Austen Festival Summer Ball in June, which creates an immersive experience for fans as you trace Jane Austen’s footsteps in the historic ballrooms of Bath.
