Austens After-Hours
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.
Numbers will be strictly limited to 15 people per tour, so book in advance to avoid disappointment!
Price: £20pp (includes a glass of prosecco or elderflower fizz)
Date and time: various Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from April – September 6.00pm-7.30pm
Please note: the tour includes periods of standing and walking through the Abbey. We are keen to support access requirements wherever possible so please get in touch in advance so we can enable your visit.
