Austen After-Hours
24 July @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
For centuries, people have worshipped on this site, and at the height of Bath’s popularity in the 18th century many chose the Abbey as their final resting place. With its fan-vaulted Tudor ceiling, 52 windows flooding the space with light, magnificent brand-new sculptures and its central location, it’s easy to imagine why.
On this special after-hours tour, when the Abbey is closed to the public, costumed guides bring history to life as they introduce you to these 18th century residents of Bath. From an American millionaire to an innkeeper, doctor, actor, and musician, their fascinating stories are all linked to the Austen family. Enjoy a drink as you step back in time and experience the Abbey in a whole new way.
