About BBC Club
BBC Club was founded in 1924 as a private members club. It has been a part of BBC Life for over 90 years. Today the Club is the heart of social unity within the BBC.
All BBC and BBC partners staff can enjoy a wealth of services ranging from working up a sweat to the pursuit of a life long interest; as a place to meet friends or to work up the next big idea. Members benefit from discounted rates in our Clubs and on our services as well as a plethora of additional online benefits and high street deals. We also have a private lottery, exclusive member only events, plus much much more!

- If you work for one of the BBC’s partners
- If you are a partner or family member of a BBC Club member
- If you are a BBC Alumni member with at least one year of continuous BBC employment
- If you have retired from the BBC

Rambling Club - Austen in Chawton


About
A flexible day based around a 4 mile circular walk from Chawton to Farringdon.
The morning is a 4 mile circular walk from Chawton, taking in the former Meon Valley railway, the village of Farringdon and the outskirts of the Chawton House estate. There is a gentle hill.
The afternoon depends on your interest in Jane Austen.
Austentatious: a sandwich lunch, either BYO or from Cassandra's Cup deli/cafe, followed by visiting the Jane Austen House Museum, the author's home in the last years of her life. Less Austentatious: a leisurely lunch at the Greyfriar pub, perhaps with a stroll round the pretty village, followed by tea and cake.
