Seeking Jane Austen Chat Page

Welcome to the Chat Page of Seeking Jane Austen which is updated frequently  - so keep coming back! Email with any Austen news you’d like to share: austenchat@hotmail.co.uk

Still picture Colin Firth as Darcy emerging dripping wet from a lake? Bring it (almost) to life on a tour of Lyme Park in Cheshire where the TV adaptation of Pride and Prejudice was filmed. Step in Mr Darcy’s Footsteps runs on June 26, August 21 and September 25. Booking essential with the National Trust at www.nationaltrust.org.uk
No guarantee of Colin turning up, though....

TRAVELLING WITH AUSTEN
Julian Spencer Rouse has been in touch to tell me about his driver-guide tours of Austen country. An interesting off-shoot of Julian’s travel business Echo Tango is to organise personal itineraries for Austen fans, chauffeuring them around many of the sites described in www.seekingjaneausten.com and sharing his knowledge about Austen’s life and writing.

If this interests you, you can find out more from his websites:

WINCHESTER EXHIBITION
I’m still waiting to see the new exhibition about Austen which opened in April at Winchester Cathedral, focusing on her local life. It’s open when the cathedral is - check their website www.winchester-cathedral.org.uk

A weekend of events is planned at the cathedral 16-18 July to coincide with the Jane Austen Society agm . There will be a dinner on the 16th, lunch on the 18th - with Regency dancing in the cathedral inbetween on the 17th! Sounds fun!

If you’ve already seen the exhibition, do write and tell me about it.
