The Jane Austen Fan Club

Charlotte and Ellie are best friends and Jane Austen superfans. Tonight's a special meeting of the Jane Austen Fan Club - and everyone's invited! Alongside the usual books, bonnets and biscuits, you can expect comedy, chaos and a lifesize cardboard Colin Firth.

With real life inconveniently intruding on the meeting, Charlotte and Ellie are faced with the question: in 250 years, how much have things really changed?

Hilarious and heartfelt, The Jane Austen Fan Club promises high drama, breathless romance and dancing of the highest quality*.

*Accurate at time of publishing – please note dancing may not be that high quality.

All performances are relaxed, baby-friendly and dementia-friendly.

Join us for a very special meeting… that isn’t going strictly to plan.
