From the Editor

Welcome to the biggest and brightest Jane Austen Festival in Bath so far!
The success of last year’s festival amazed us all, with so many visitors profiting from cheap European flights to come to Bath for long weekends, others from further afield incorporating Jane Austen into their annual holidays and greatly increased attendance from all over the UK. I really enjoyed meeting everyone at what is a very friendly and informal festival.
We celebrate our 5th year in 2005 and our programme promises to be full of excitement and interest. I have been in the very enviable position of having a huge variety of events to schedule for you. This year we celebrate Jane Austen’s love of the theatre. We have two new professional productions for you: a witty new adaptation of Persuasion by The Phoenix and a unique presentation of two of Jane Austen’s lively juvenile works under the title The Teen Queen. For those of you who have begged for more costume events, we have the ultimate excuse to dress up -a wonderful Regency Ball, with authentic catering and a chance to learn the card games that made Beau Nash a fortune! as well as our Grand Georgian Promenade which received such praise and positive feedback last year. But why single out individual events from our amazing programme? I am sure there are so many that you will love. Why don’t you just turn the page and see for yourself!
