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!

]]> 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!

]]> 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?

]]> Still at the end of the Jane Austen Festival Regency Costumed Charity Promenade in Parade Gardens – I tried to get as many photos of the participants entering the gardens as I could.

There’s more photos to come over the next few days – I thought I’d spread them out so I didn’t overload my blog in one day!

]]> It wasn’t just the adults and children who were dressed up for the Jane Austen Festival Regency Costumed Charity Promenade – there were a couple of stylish canines as well!

Figgy Pudding seemed to be having a great time in the Promenade

Freddie looked particularly stylish, and seemed very happy to pose for photos while the Promenade waited for everyone to catch up

I did spot a fantastically dressed Labrador in Bath a few days ago as well, but I wasn’t able to get a photo. The outfit was brilliant though, including a little top hat!

]]> I left the Jane Austen Festival Regency Costumed Charity Promenade as they walked down Bath Street, and took a quick detour to catch them as they entered the Parade Gardens.

There’s more photos to come over the next day or two….

]]> I hadn’t paid much attention to the map of the route, so I wasn’t too sure where the Jane Austen Festival Regency Costumed Charity Promenade would head after Milsom Street.

They made their way down through Union Street, which leads to some more unusual photos of Regency costume mixed with modern shops.
