Step Back in Time with Me at the Jane Austen 250th Anniversary Celebration

Step Back in Time with Me at the Jane Austen 250th Anniversary Celebration

This September, I am thrilled to be part of the enchanting 250th anniversary celebration of Jane Austen’s birth in the beautiful city of Bath. From September 12th to 21st, 2025, the Jane Austen Festival will transform the city into a Regency dream, with costumed promenades, theatrical performances, and immersive experiences that honor Austen’s timeless legacy.

As someone who has always been inspired by history and artistry, I’m excited to offer bespoke hair and makeup styling inspired by the Regency and Georgian eras for festival attendees. With over 20 years of experience working in film, TV, editorial, and fashion, I specialize in bringing a balance of historical authenticity and modern artistry to every look.

Whether you’re attending a grand Regency ball, participating in the costumed promenade, or enjoying a tea party with fellow Austen enthusiasts, I’ll work with you to create a look that perfectly complements the occasion. From intricate updos to soft curls and period-inspired makeup, I’ll ensure you look and feel like you’ve stepped out of Austen’s world.

Appointments will be limited, as I’ll be focusing on personalized styling for a select number of clients. I recommend booking as early as possible to secure your spot. This is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the elegance of Austen’s era and celebrate her incredible legacy in style.

I look forward to being a part of your journey back in time and can’t wait to help bring your Regency-inspired look to life. For more details about the festival, check out its exciting lineup of events here. To book your appointment, reach out today—spaces are filling fast!

Let’s step into history together and embrace the beauty of Jane Austen’s world this September in Bath.

Warm regards, Katelyn Simkins
