About

Meet the residents of Jane Austen’s Bath on this exclusive after-hours tour of Bath Abbey.

For centuries, people have worshipped on this site, and at the height of Bath’s popularity in the 18th century, many chose the Abbey as their final resting place. With its fan-vaulted Tudor ceiling, 52 windows flooding the space with light, magnificent brand-new sculptures and its central location, it’s easy to imagine why.

On this special after-hours tour, when the Abbey is closed to the public, costumed guides bring history to life as they introduce you to these 18th century residents of Bath. From an American millionaire to an innkeeper, doctor, actor, and musician, their fascinating stories are all linked to the Austen family. Enjoy a drink as you step back in time and experience the Abbey in a whole new way.

Tickets are available online or in person from the welcome desk at Bath Abbey.

Numbers will be strictly limited to 20 people per tour, so book in advance to avoid disappointment! 

Price: £20 per person (includes a glass of prosecco or elderflower fizz)
