Jane Austen Festival to Run This September in Bath, England

Bath PrioryThe 2010 Jane Austen Festival takes place in Bath from Sep 17th-25th. Now in a 10th year, a eventuality grows annually, with some-more as well as some-more people sauce in Regency-style costume celebrating a life as well as functions of Jane Austen.

Tickets for each eventuality have been now on sale at a Bath Festivals Box Office. The many spectacular day each year is a first Saturday, when a festival strictly opens with a Regency Costumed Promenade by a streets of Bath. (Think promenaders from all over a universe sauce in 18th-century attire led by Baths Town Crier as well as accompanied by soldiers as well as sailors.)

The rest of a festival is comprised of small soirees, theater, concerts, on foot tours, food, talks as well as dancing, plus a opportunity to dress throughout a week, if we wish, in 18th century costume.
