Celebrating Patrick in Haworth

A couple of alerts for today, March 17, celebrating Patrick Brontë's anniversary in Haworth:

Spring Walk in Partnership with Bradford Fair Trade Zone

An 8 mile walk from Thornton to Haworth
March 17th 2019 09:00am - 02:00

We’re delighted to be partnering with Bradford Fair Trade Zone once again on a walk from Thornton to Haworth, tracing a route very similar to the one the Brontë family would have travelled when they moved to Haworth in 1820. Please meet from 9am at St James' Church, Thornton, for a 9.30am departure. The walk will finish in the Old School Room, Haworth, where walkers are welcome to join in the celebrations for Patrick's birthday, and to partake of some tea and cake!
If you're not quite up for an 8 mile walk, please feel free to join the walkers at 11.45am in Denholme to join the walkers for the last four miles. Please meet outside the Co-op.

Celebrating Patrick
Mark the birthday of the remarkable Patrick Brontë
March 17th 2019 12:00pm - 04:00pm

Come and help us celebrate and remember the inspirational father of the Brontë sisters!

Patrick Brontë was first offered the post of perpetual curate in Haworth in 1819 and after a long, drawn-out process, he eventually  made the move to Haworth in April 1820. The Brontë family are central to the Haworth story, but what was Haworth like when the  Brontë family arrived? This St Patrick’s Day, we’re launching a project to bring the history of Haworth to life, so please come along
and learn how you can get involved. We’ll also be joined by some special guests, including Zaffar Kunial, our writer in residence, who will read from his new collection Us and talk about his plans for the residency.

There will be lots going on, so make sure to head to Haworth this St Patrick's Day!
