On Sunday 6th July 2025 the historic and picturesque village of Steventon, Hampshire, will host the Jane Austen Regency Country Fair, celebrating the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth. Jane Austen was born on 16th of December 1775 in the Rectory which stood in the very location where the Fair will be held.
With Regency attire actively encouraged (but not compulsory!), the field will be turned into a classical countryside scene with performances by the Hampshire Regency Dancers, Garston Gallopers, Alton Morris, Mayfly Morris, The Madding Crowd and local school children demonstrating Maypole dancing. There will be demonstrations of country arts and crafts as well as Jane Austen themed talks and performances and fete games, food, drinks and stalls. Special guests include historian, author and TV presenter Lucy Worsley OBE who will be giving talks, book signings and Q&As. Adrian Lukis – known to Austen aficionados as Mr Wickam in the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride & Prejudice – will also be attending and participating in Q&As with fair goers.
