This summer, brace yourself for a transatlantic world record battle of bodices and breeches!
The first skirmish will take place in July when the Louisville Chapter of the Jane Austen Society of North America will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for 'The Largest Gathering of People Dressed in Regency Costumes’. The record is currently held by Bath and stands at 409 people.
But no sooner will the record be smashed (or not), than Bath will have the opportunity to re-gain its crown when it hosts its own Jane Austen Grand Regency Promenade, leaving from the Assembly Rooms on Saturday 13th September.
The Grand Promenade, which will take participants past many of the city's most iconic Georgian landmarks, is just one highlight in this year's Jane Austen Festival which promises to be the biggest in its 14 year history.
