Jane Austen was born in Hampshire, spent a lot of her time living in Hampshire and was laid to rest in Hampshire too. To this day, her legacy lives on through her literature and adaptations for film and television. Added to this, you can find annual events and one-off events dedicated to Jane Austen, including themed weeks, dances, talks and performances of some of her works. 


Year-Round Jane Austen Events

Throughout the year, a number of events and activities such as exhibitions, tours, talks, performances and much more, are held to celebrate Jane Austen’s life across the county. Many of which take place at Jane Austen’s House museum in Chawton, where Jane lived for many years. 


Jane Austen Annual Events
