October Half Term at the Parsonage

A press release from the Brontë Parsonage Museum:

October Half Term at the Brontë Parsonage Museum

Not only is the half-term holiday a great opportunity to see some fantastic exhibitions at the Brontë Parsonage Museum, it’s also a chance to enjoy special discount entry. Throughout the half-term week, 2 for 1 vouchers will be available at various locations around the village, allowing two visitors to enter for the price of one!

Visitors will have a last chance to view Ghosts, an exhibition of atmospheric landscape photographs by major British artist, Sam Taylor-Wood. The exhibition, featured in the historic rooms of the Parsonage, is a response to Emily Brontë’s timeless tale of love and revenge, Wuthering Heights and will close on 2 November.

“The Ghosts exhibition has proved very popular with visitors this summer. It is unusual to find the work of such an important contemporary artist in an historic environment such as the Parsonage, and many visitors have commented that the works are like windows on to the moors, and the dramatic landscape that the Brontës knew and wrote about in their novels. We hope that people will take this last opportunity to see the works hung within the museum, before the series of photographs is returned to London.” (Jenna Holmes, Arts Officer)

Visitors can also see the costumes from the recent ITV adaptation of Wuthering Heights, worn by stars Charlotte Riley and Tom Hardy, which are also displayed in the Parsonage rooms. On the evening of Saturday 24th October the screenwriter for the drama, Peter Bowker, and director Coky Giedroyc, will be making a visit to Haworth to speak about the adaptation to an audience at the West Lane Baptist Centre. Tickets for this event are available from the Brontë Parsonage Museum by contacting jenna.holmes@bronte.org.uk / 01535 640188.
