In the heart of the spectacular Yorkshire Moors, the Brontë Parsonage Museum, at Haworth, is the largest collection of personal possessions, clothes and furniture from the Brontë family.
The museum hosts a full calendar of events throughout the year, including contemporary arts events, exhibitions and family activities. It's a wonderful insight into a great literary family, and a fascinating day out for all age groups.
Where is Bronte Parsonage Museum located?
Located on Church Street, in the village of Howarth, The Bronte Parsonage Museum is behind the church at the upper end of Haworth Main Street. There is a car park next to the Museum, just off West Lane.
What is the history of Bronte Parsonage Museum to the present day?
The Bronte Parsonage Museum has been welcoming visitors for 90 years, and has, since that time, been offering a full programme of events, exhibitions and activities for the whole family. Recent developments include an exploration of the legacy of Emily Brontë, and in 2019, the Museum will look at the life and legacy of Patrick Brontë.
What is there to see and do at Bronte Parsonage Museum?
With displays including notebooks, letters and household items, it's fascinating to read the sisters' minuscule writing, especially in the ‘Little Books'. Visitors can also see the dining table where the great works of Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall were written, complete with candle burns and ink stains.
