How groups can embrace Austen250 in 2025
This year marks the 250th birthday of Jane Austen, one of Bath’s most famous former residents, and you’re invited to the festivities!
As you wander around this beautiful World Heritage city, you’ll find it easy to picture the Regency-era Bath Jane brought to life so vividly in the pages of her novels Persuasion and Northanger Abbey.
Combine Bath with other destinations for the perfect Austen250 trip around England. Visit Jane Austen’s House in Winchester along with the Cathedral where she was laid to rest and travel further north to the Peak District with a trip to Chatsworth House, aka Pemberley from Pride and Prejudice.
Learning objectives
Attendees will learn more about the events happening for this important anniversary and be inspired to make trips.
