The Old Bell Chapel, Thornton Road, Bradford, West Yorkshire
Join Brontë Stones project creator Michael Stewart for a guided walking tour tracing the footsteps of the Brontë sisters from their birthplace in Thornton village to the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth.
Crossing the stunning Yorkshire landscape, the walk explores specially commissioned responses to the Brontës by celebrated writers like Carol Ann Duffy, Kate Bush, Jackie Kay and Jeanette Winterson.
This nine-mile linear trek takes around five hours and includes narrow styles, uneven ground and slippery surfaces.
Appropriate footwear and weatherproof clothing are essential. Participants should also bring a packed lunch and plenty of water for a picnic stop along the route.

Cambridge House, BD5 0H
Step into the shadows of a cinematic mystery with Wuthering Heights Rediscovered, an exhibition celebrating the lost 1920 silent film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s timeless classic.
Drawing on the only surviving script and a remarkable collection of previously unseen photographs, the exhibition reconstructs and reimagines a film thought lost forever.
Curated by Professor Rob Shail and Irfan Shah of Leeds Beckett University’s Early Cinema Research Group, and supported by the Brontë Parsonage Museum, Haworth, it offers a fascinating journey into early filmmaking, literary heritage and Yorkshire’s enduring gothic landscape.
A must-see for film lovers, Brontë enthusiasts and admirers of the moors alike.
