Our virtual birthday party has quickly become a much-loved annual tradition!

This year you can again join us online, along with fans from across the globe, for a brilliant birthday celebration.

Party guests will be treated to all sorts of fun and games in the spirit of Jane Austen and her family.

Expect fabulous music, fascinating talks, readings and all sorts of fun and games in the spirit of Jane Austen and her family!

Special guests include Austen author and professor Devoney Looser, musician Amanda Fagan, actors Hollie Hales and Adam Cunis, writer Claire Saim and historian Jan Merriman.

We’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at our brand-new exhibition, Jane Austen and the Art of Writing, an ‘object up close’ with our Collections team, and a sneak peek at our new book – as well as our usual party games and singalongs!
