More Filming

I’m not 100% certain what they’re filming, but I got quite a good view of some of the cast (I’m assuming most of them are extras) while they waited for their part to come around.

Best Dressed Dogs

It wouldn’t be the Grand Regency Promenade without some photos of the canine participants – I love their outfits this year, even if the puppy wasn’t quite as willing to stay still enough for a clear photo!

I thought I had a clearer photo of Freddy, but it looks like the only one I have, is this ‘photobombing’ one – I’ll try harder next year!

Jane Austen Festival

Dancing in Parade Gardens

Yesterday’s Grand Regency Promenade ended in Parade Gardens, where spectators and Promenade participants were encouraged to join in the dancing. First though, there were a few dances from the talented Steps In Time group.

On to the ‘come and join in’ dancing, where the moves were being called very enthusiastically to ensure nobody got lost!

And of course you can’t have a dance without musicians!


Jane Austen Festival

Promenading through the City

It’s that time of year again – when you walk through Bath and spot lots of Regency outfits! Yes, today was the Grand Promenade as part of the Jane Austen Festival.

This year’s route was different, starting in Sydney Gardens and heading along towards Pulteney Bridge, up Broad Street, down Milsom Street, past the Guildhall and into Parade Gardens. There seemed to be less pauses for everyone to catch up this year, as I wasn’t able to get ahead of the 33rd Regiment of Foot who were leading the Promenade!

More photos to come over the next few days – if you were participating in the Promenade, have you spotted yourself in any of these photos?
