点评:My mum and I visited together for both the Centre and the afternoon tea. The Centre itself was nice but the museum was mainly full of replicas ~ there were some famous autographs and letters though which was nice to see. The Centre firsts takes you through a presentation held by someone acting as a character from a Jane Austen book. This goes on for around 20mins and tells you some interesting information about Jane Austen, her family and her time in Bath. Then you are led downstairs for the exhibition which is full of replica clothing, tools and information about the era, Jane’s books and Jane herself. You do have the opportunity to try on some Regency style clothing, but we chose not to do this. You could also write with a quill and ink which we did and was quite sweet. After the Centre, we went upstairs for some afternoon tea. We got 10% off for having visited the Centre which was nice. The staff were all very friendly and the restaurant more than happy to swap bits of the afternoon tea out for food we’d prefer. For example, one of the sandwiches on offer was a tuna mayonnaise to which neither of us like, so we got a cheese sandwich instead. When you arrive, they give you a booklet about Jane and the Centre which contained a small self-led walking tour through Bath. We did this afterwards and it was very nice as it took us through the city and we saw all the locations that Jane either mentioned in her books or lived in herself. There was a gift shop as well, with 10% off, however we felt it was a bit expensive (£12 for a bookmark). Overall, I’d definitely recommend the afternoon tea and the self-led tour, but not sure if I’d go back to the Centre again as it was more of an experience than a museum which I think I would have preferred.
翻译:我和妈妈一起参观了中心,并享用了下午茶。中心本身很不错,但博物馆里主要摆满了复制品~不过也有一些名人的签名和信件,很不错。中心首先会带你观看一场由一位扮演简·奥斯汀书中人物的演讲。这场演讲持续大约20分钟,会向你讲述一些关于简·奥斯汀、她的家庭以及她在巴斯生活的有趣信息。然后你会被带到楼下的展览,那里摆满了复制的服装、工具,以及关于那个时代、简的书籍和简本人的信息。你有机会试穿一些摄政时期风格的服装,但我们没有试穿。你也可以用羽毛笔和墨水写字,我们试穿了,感觉很贴心。参观完中心后,我们上楼享用了下午茶。参观中心让我们享受了九折优惠,这很不错。工作人员都非常友好,餐厅也很乐意用我们喜欢的食物来换取下午茶。比如,有一种三明治是金枪鱼蛋黄酱,我们俩都不喜欢,所以我们改吃奶酪三明治。到达后,他们会给你一本关于简和中心的小册子,里面有一次巴斯自助徒步游。之后我们参加了这次徒步游,感觉很棒,因为它带我们穿过了城市,看到了简在她的书中提到过或她自己住过的所有地方。那里还有一家礼品店,打九折,但我们觉得有点贵(一个书签要 12 英镑)。总的来说,我绝对推荐下午茶和自助游,但不确定我是否会再次回到中心,因为它更像是一种体验,而不是博物馆,我想我更喜欢博物馆。
