An alert for today, November 24 in Holmfield, Halifax:Brontë Literary Supper with Notable Brontë author Juliet Barker
At: Holdsworth House Hotel & Restaurant, Holmfield, Halifax, HX2 9TG.
Time: 7.00pm, Thursday 24th November
Holdsworth House is not only one of the finest hotels in West Yorkshire it also is a wonderful example of a ‘Halifax House’, an important style of 17th Century architecture unique to this area. One of the earliest properties built in this style was nearby High Sunderland, now sadly demolished, it is thought by many Bronte historians to be the inspiration for Wuthering Heights. Emily Brontë would certainly have been aware of its presence, as it stood on the hill top across from Law Hill, where she worked in 1838.
At this special Holdsworth House event, local author Juliet Barker, one of the leading authorities on the Brontë family, will provide an insight into their lives and writings, drawing from their experiences in this area.
There will be books available for purchase by the author herself, plus a raffle to win a selection of Brontë themed items. All proceeds from the raffle will go to The Brontë Parsonage charity.
This will be a lovely way to experience Halifax’s top hotel and taste the fabulous food on offer.
Tickets £12.50 per person payable online at http://holdsworthhouse.eventbrite.co.uk/ or call 01422 240024. Buy 3 tickets and get 4th FREE. For further information please contact the hotel directly on 01422 2410024 or email info@holdsworthhouse.co.uk.
