Celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth.
In 2025 No.1 Royal Crescent will celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth with a new temporary exhibition, ‘The Most Tiresome Place in the World’: Jane Austen & Bath.
Jane Austen had a complicated relationship with Bath. The scandals and shallowness of the city fuelled her cynicism and wit, and nothing escaped her scathing pen. And yet she wrote very little while living in the city. Letters, contemporary responses and the only manuscript she wrote in Bath will reveal the highs and lows of her time here, as this exhibition exposes how turbulence and loss cast a long shadow over Jane Austen and Bath.
