The Jane Austen Festival officially opens with the world famous Regency Costumed Charity Promenade. The Promenade is a procession of over 500 people all in 18th Century costume and is a record breaking event. All sorts of people from all over the world participate, from the very young to the young at heart plus red coats, dancers and the official town crier.
