Emily Brontë's birthday weekend at the Parsonage (II)

The Saturday events of  this year's Emily Brontë's birthday weekend at the Parsonage:

Celebrating… Emily Brontë: 'little Book' Workshop With Charlotte Dawson

In-person crafting workshop with Charlotte Dawson

Saturday 27 July, 2pm - 3:30pm

Make your very own ‘Little Book’ just like the Brontës, as we celebrate the 206th anniversary of Emily Brontë's birth!

The Brontë children created many miniature publications during their childhood, scribbling words and drawings on every scrap of parchment they could find, including an Epsom Salts wrapper! The imaginary worlds they created were inspired by their own experiences and toys given to them by their father.

In this workshop, artist Charlotte Dawson will help you conjure your own imaginary worlds, creating stories and drawings in a miniature, folded publication to take home. All materials are provided and will either be recycled or repurposed - in true Brontë style! 

Wild Poetry Workshop with Nabeela Ahmed

An in-person poetry workshop with Nabeela Ahmed

Saturday 27 July, 10:30am - 12pm

This weekend, we're celebrating the 206th anniversary of Emily Brontë's birth! Join Bradford poet Nabeela Ahmed for a poetry workshop rooted in all things wild...

Nabeela will help you craft poetry inspired by the theme of nature in Emily's work, and the wild characters in the Brontë novels. Drawing on her own multi-lingual writing practice, Nabeela will encourage you to incorporate different languages and dialects into your poems.

We're delighted to welcome Nabeela back to the Brontë Parsonage Museum, following her popular workshop for the Brontë Festival of Women’s Writing last year.
