The Jane Austen Centre

The Jane Austen Centre is a permanent exhibition telling the story of Jane Austen's time in the city of Bath, and the influence that it had on her writing. There are costumes, a film, live guides, and a number of exhibits to discover. There is also a Regency Tearoom on the second floor, with serving staff in period costume!

The centre is the perfect starting point when exploring Jane Austen's Bath, with knowledgeable staff, a lovely period atmosphere, maps, books, and more to discover, including a waxwork of Jane Austen, created using forensic evidence. Learn about Jane's time in the city between 1801 and 1806, and the effect that it had on her writing. She even lived on the same street that now houses the Centre!
