Festive Candlelit Tours at Brontë Parsonage

A press release from the Brontë Parsonage Museum:

Festive Candlelit Tours at Brontë Parsonage

The Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth is opening its doors for two very special tours on Tuesday 30 November and Tuesday 7 December. The museum is inviting members of the public to come along and enjoy a festive guided tour of the museum by candlelight. The evenings will include mulled wine and other festive treats, as well as the tour of the candlelit museum. There will also be an opportunity to visit the museum library, which is not normally open to members of the public, to see various Brontë treasures at close quarters.

The Parsonage is always decorated for advent with traditional holly and ivy, which looks wonderful, but it will be a very special experience to see the period rooms of the house also lit by candles. It’s very atmospheric and gives an even greater sense of the house as a home. In the Brontës’ time Christmas was of course a religious festival, without all the commercial emphasis we have now. We like to think that these evenings will capture something of Christmas past and we hope that people will come along and enjoy that.

Director, Brontë Parsonage Museum
