Jane Austen Tea
Hosted by Much Ado Books

Join the team from Much Ado Books for tea at The Star, to celebrate the remarkable pleasures and literary genius of Jane Austen and her novels.

We’re gathering for a relaxed chat at 3pm on Tuesday 16 December – the 250th anniversary of Jane’s birth.

What books do you love? What adaptations are on your highly-recommended list, and which ones do you loathe? What is it about Emma that you respond to – or are you in camp Sense & Sensibility?

You can expect a genial, relaxed afternoon for readers of all stripes – and even for those who prefer the films. You’ll help shape the afternoon with your observations and ideas, your thoughts about her place in the literary firmament and your favourite passages. And obviously we’ll all hope for some good gossip . . .

We’ll gather in the lovely dining room of The Star for scone and tea and a special Regency-style treat.
