Austen Fest in Bath 2010

The Jane Austen Festival in Bath occurs annually in September. It attracts thousands from all over the world. Fans of anything from the 1800's travel across continents to attend. Many take the time to prepare wardrobes to wear during the Promenade, the ball, and the teas. They enjoy the slower tempo of life and enjoy walking through gardens and playing croquet. Mr Darcy, Mr Knightley or Edmond Bertram could be seen to cause women to swoon! Darcy and Lizzy, Emma and Mr Knightley and Fannie Price and Edmond Bertram would spin with delight to see us at breakfast the day of the ball ~ then when we arrive at the grand ballroom we could expect a friendly hello!
