Back when I watched Auntie Beebs Pride and Prejudice first air in 1995, I had no idea the impression it would have on me...or that one day I'd create an entire newspaper inspired by the world Jane Austen imagined 30 years later(!)

In truth, The Meryton Chronicle began with 14 year old me, who found a little of herself in Elizabeth Bennet. And these are some of the ways I still do 😊
Although I am sometimes more Mrs Bennet than Lizzy!

I'd love to know, which one do you relate to most?

Ever wondered what's inside The Meryton Chronicle? Here's a little peek...

Every issue follows the events of Pride and Prejudice month by month, but there's so much more to discover!

In our November Issue, you'll meet Mary Anning - one of the obstinate, headstrong women whose achievements deserve to be celebrated.

You'll also follow the real life adventure of Phila Austen, Jane Austen's spirited aunt as she goes well beyond the borders of Hertfordshire in search of a husband (if you think Mrs Bennet was determined, wait until you meet Phila!)

And have you ever pondered about the characters Austen quietly leaves in the background? What happens beyond the Bennet's and Mr Darcy? Find out in The Meryton Chronicle which shines a light on familiar names like Colonel Forster, imagining the wider world of Meryton.

A newspaper, a keepsake, a Regency adventure...turn the page into Jane Austen's world 📰

Who would you read about first? 😊

Inside The Meryton Chronicle Issue 2 was a handcrafted Regency ball fan inspired by Pride & Prejudice and the Netherfield Ball!

Each blade reveals a little piece of Regency life:
❤️ Fan Language
👣 The steps to the opening dance, 'Money In Both Pockets'
💃 The dances you could expect at the ball
🎀 Five ball tips inspired by each Bennet sister - Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty & Lydia

And, because no detail is too small...it's finished with Mr Bingley's motif in Bingley Blue, of course! 💙

Which Bennet sister's advice would have got you through the ball...and last week's heatwave? 🌞
