It is a truth universally acknowledged that on Sunday 16th November 2025 from 12-4pm, we’ll be celebrating Jane Austen’s 250th birthday in the shop

With tea, bubbly, cake, music, a quiz, fancy dress competition and maybe some guest stars…

Following two nights of Spontaneous Productions’ ‘The Complete Works of Jane Austen in 90 Minutes’ at St Barts Church, we’ll be donning our bonnets to celebrate the enduring popularity of one of our most beloved writers and we’d love for you to come along!

There’s no need to book, simply promenade on down to Kirkdale.
