A sponsored article in The York Press features the forthcoming Reader’s Retreat at The Grand, York.
The Reader’s Retreat at The Grand, York offers a page-turning journey through Yorkshire’s literary landscape and a cosy two-night stay at the five-star hotel.
Prepare to be transported to Yorkshire’s literary hotspots for two days by luxury transport this winter and spring from your comfortable base at The Grand, York.
The hotel’s new Reader’s Retreat begins with a journey from York to the wild and windswept moors which inspired the Brontë sisters to pen their classic masterpieces, including Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
Visit the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth where the famous siblings lived and worked and where their father Patrick Brontë was the parish priest from 1820 until 1861. See the rooms filled with their furniture, clothes, personal treasures and priceless writings, drawings and letters. Afterwards enjoy a guided tour of the town and St Michael and All Angels Church and the Brontë Memorial Chapel.
