Jane Austen's Bath

A Day in Bath

10.00am - Visit the Jane Austen Centre, enjoy a snapshot of life during Regency times and explores how living in this magnificent city affected Jane Austen's life and writing. Stop for morning tea with 'Mr Darcy' at the Jane Austen Regency Tea Rooms.

12.45pm - Visit the Assembly Rooms and Fashion Museum. In Jane's day the Assembly Rooms was a place used for large gatherings. Guests "assembled" for balls, to drink tea, play cards, listen to music or just to talk and flirt. Now it is home to the Fashion Museum and you can see the type of clothes that might have been worn in Jane Austen's time.
