Uncover the secrets of Bradford on Avon, and discover a world of immense wealth, sexual intrigue, industrial ambition, and social unrest.About this Event
Bath may have its Jane Austen connections, but Georgian life in Bradford on Avon was far more colourful and far more scandalous than anything Mr Darcy could have imagined.
The Bradford on Avon Georgian Tour: Wool and Waywardness reveals a world of immense wealth, sexual intrigue, industrial ambition, and social unrest.
Beginning at The Hall Estate, Bradford on Avon’s iconic Grade I-listed Jacobean mansion, this immersive walking tour leads you through the town to uncover the dramatic stories behind its Georgian streets, riverside industry, and grand houses, alongside industrial heritage and rebellion.
A fully guided walking tour for lovers of Georgian history beyond Jane Austen, led by Andrew Kerslake, a former Senior Lecturer at Bath University and Professor Emeritus at Oxford Brookes University
This is not a dry history lesson — it is a vivid, adult-only exploration of power, excess, scandal, and collapse at the height of the Georgian era, and a love letter for Bridgerton fans seeking the real Georgian world.
