Jane Austen 250th anniversary film screening: Fanny Price's Tea Party, 10 Dec. 2025
Join us to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Jane Austen. Our academics and talented students have teamed up with Jane Austen's House and Museum in nearby Chawton, where Britain's most beloved author lived and worked, to produce a short film. Fanny Price's Tea Party aims to recover lost voices from the Regency period such as those of servants and shows that, rather than being regional or even provincial, Jane Austen and her writing were globally connected. Following its premiere at the University the film will be available to view on the JAH website. For further information, read the press release.
Fanny Price's Tea Party will be launched on 10 December, 17.30pm for 18.00, at the University’s West Downs Auditorium on Romsey Road, Winchester SO22 5HT. All welcome, booking not required.
