Jane Austen's 250 Birthday


 Jane Austen fans are already looking forward to a very special anniversary! 16 December 2025 will be the 250th anniversary of Jane's birth. It may seem a long way off, but events and exhibitions are already being planned. 

I will be posting updates on this blog whenever I hear of anything new, but in the meantime, you can sign up to a special newsletter here on the Jane Austen's House Museum website.

Some Southampton events are now on the Visit Hampshire website. Her burial place, Winchester Cathedral, will be holding a special service in memory of our favourite author, and is also planning to unveil a new statue of Jane. 

And of course, a reminder that you can find out more about Jane Austen's life and times in my book!
