Another chance to enjoy the Jane Austen Birthday Ball and a range of other events and activities in 2026.

Jane Austen Regency Week Home

The Jane Austen Regency Week takes place in Hampshire, UK to celebrate both our local internationally-acclaimed writer, and a very interesting period of history, encouraging people to explore their cultural heritage.

The Jane Austen Regency Week and the Jane Austen Birthday Ball Weekend are run by by a group of volunteers and participating organisations under the auspices of the Alton Jane Austen Group. It is funded through ticket sales, grants, sponsorship and advertising.

Some of the events are run by registered charities who receive the ticket income as part of their fund-raising activities: Jane Austen's House Museum (CIO); Chawton House; Hampshire Cultural Trust; Gilbert White and the Oates Collections; The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of the Resurrection, Alton.
