The Jane Austen Society of the UK


Hampshire Group

The Hampshire Group was established in May 2002 and by the end of its first year had already attracted over 100 members. We are fortunate in serving the county Jane Austen knew and loved best, where she was born, where almost all of her novels were written, and where she is buried. Our members are also particularly well placed to attend the Society's annual meeting in Chawton each July and to benefit from other Jane Austen events which find a natural location in the county.

Our subscription is £5 a year, or £8 for two people living at the same address. We hold an AGM in May followed by a talk by an experienced speaker, and at least two other events. One of these is a study day at Alton Abbey with the renowned Jane Austen expert, Dom Nicholas Seymour.

We publish a Newsletter twice a year with details of events, reports of meetings, and brief articles.

For further details and a membership application form, please contact our Secretary via hants@jasoc.org.uk or complete the application form displayed via the How to join link on the left of this screen.
