Bath, England BA1 2NT
The Jane Austen Centre features a permanent exhibition that tells the story of Bath's most famous resident, the author Jane Austen. It explores the effect that living in the Georgian city had on her life and writing. Costumed Actors provide an introductory talk after which the exhibition is self-guided. Actors will be on hand throughout the exhibition to satisfy your quest for knowledge of all things Austen. You will get to taste some period-recipe food, dress up in Regency costume, and have your photo take with the world famous Jane Austen waxwork. A giftshop on the ground floor sells unique items bespoke to the Jane Austen Centre themed on her work. There is as well a delicious Regency Tea Room on the 2nd floor which offers 17 varieties of leafed tea to go with our locally baked cakes. The Centre organises the annual Jane Austen Festival as well as walking tours of the city with an Austen theme.
