About

Regency Life is an immersive Regency dress and heritage experience in the heart of Bath, inviting visitors to step into the elegance of Jane Austen’s world.

Guests can choose from a collection of Regency-inspired outfits and accessories for ladies and gentlemen, with personal assistance to create their look before stepping out to explore Bath’s beautiful Georgian streets in period attire. From elegant gowns and bonnets to gentlemen’s coats and waistcoats, the experience offers a memorable new way to discover the historic city.

For visitors short on time, the Regency Snapshot Experience offers a 30-minute indoor alternative, with the opportunity to dress up and capture photographs as a unique souvenir of a visit to Bath.

More than simply costume hire, Regency Life takes inspiration from the experience of visiting a Regency modiste, making the transformation itself part of the occasion — from choosing an outfit to adding the perfect accessories and finishing touches.

Perfect for Jane Austen enthusiasts, period-drama lovers, couples, friends, groups and anyone searching for something a little different to do in Bath, Regency Life offers visitors the chance to experience the city’s Regency heritage rather than simply observe it.
