18 July marks the 200th anniversary of Jane’s death. This has inspired a celebration of Jane’s life with plays, exhibitions, walks and tours happening in and around Hampshire, England. A selection of Jane’s most personal possessions are going on display, some for the first time in 40 years from private collections.

40% of all proceeds from the guide will go to help pay for much needed repairs to Jane’s house in Chawton, now the Jane Austen House Museum.

In this easy read guide you will find exhibitions and activities that we found to be special for Jane Austen fans to celebrate 200 years of her life and works, and that uniquely mark the 200th anniversary of Jane’s passing.
