Jane Austen Devotees Parade Through Bath


Hundreds of Jane Austen fans turned heads at the weekend as they walked through the streets of Bath dressed in Regency costume.

The walk, which began in Abbey Church Yard, was part of the city’s Jane Austen Festival.


The event, which is in its 11th year, runs until Saturday and attracts enthusiasts from all over the world, including the USA, Australia and Japan to take part in the ten-day celebration of the author’s work.

The promenade is the best-known part of the festival and as well as characters from the Regency novels, there were also people dressed as naval officers, musicians and soldiers.
