'It didn’t disappoint in any way at all'

The Yorkshire Post interviews the Director at the National Science and Media Museum, Jo Quinton-Tulloch.

What’s your first Yorkshire memory?

This would have been some 30 years ago, when I visited with a friend who was as besotted with The Brontë Sisters as I was – and I still am. We went over to Howarth [sic], and we explored every nook and cranny, and we loved it all – the cobbled streets, the little shops, the museum. It didn’t disappoint in any way at all, and we had a full weekend there. It just confirmed, and cemented everything that we’d read in the books. (Phil Penfold)

The Guardian asks writer/comedian Natalie Haynes about the books of her life.

The book I could never read again

Anything by a Brontë. I just don’t need that much torment in my life, and if I do, there’s always Catullus.

Publishers Weekly takes a look at some recent novels with a Gothic theme.

A boarding school in 1928 Sussex, England, is the centerpiece of Spoiled Milk by Avery Curran (Doubleday, Mar. 2026). Two rival students at the secluded Briarley School for Girls team up to solve the mysterious death of their classmate, and it soon becomes clear that something supernatural is afoot. Curran describes Sussex as “a pretty pleasant place,” in contrast to the “oppressive weather” and “gloomy landscape” of books like Jane Eyre. But like the other locales discussed in this piece, it’s not without its terrors. (Elyse Martin)

The Telegraph and Argus reminds readers that the Wild Uplands sculpture trail is about to end.

This weekend will be the last chance to see a collection of unique sculptures on the moors that inspired the Brontë sisters.

Wild uplands is a Bradford 2025 project that has seen four artists create sculptures for Penistone Hill, just outside of Haworth.

They have included marble butterflies, a huge tower covered in wool and bizarre figures based on the Cottingley Faeries.

The outdoor installation opened in May, and officially ends on Sunday (October 12).

The sculptures will then be removed, with some being donated to local community groups.

The exhibition is accompanied by and audio trail called Earth and Sky.

A partnership between Bradford 2025 and Opera North, the project has seen composers Caterina Barbieri, Nyokabi Kariũki and Gwen Siôn create new music and sound works inspired by Penistone Hill – and by the music of Bradford-born composer Frederick Delius.

The trail is free and open 24 hours a day.

Express describes Haworth as 'The beautiful little UK village just as pretty as the Cotswolds but 182 miles away'.

Once home to the Brontë sisters, stepping into this West Yorkshire village feels like walking straight into a novel or period drama. It's the perfect place to go if you enjoy history and literature but it is also filled with lovely coffee shops, cobbled streets, independent shops and stunning views of the countryside. Haworth is around 182 miles from the Cotswolds, yet it shares that same timeless beauty, with cobblestone lanes and honey-hued stone buildings that feel frozen in time.

At the heart of the village is the Brontë Parsonage Museum, the former home of the Brontë family. It’s here that some of the most iconic novels in English literature were penned including Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, and today it brings thousands of visitors each year who come to walk in the footsteps of the literary sisters.

Travesías (in Spanish) lists some literary destinations, but no idea why.

En Haworth, pueblo de la autora de Jane Eyre Charlotte Brontë y sus hermanas Anne, Elizabeth y Maria, se puede visitar la casa en donde vivieron en el ahora Brontë Parsonage Museum. (Natalia Maynez) (Translation)

Finally, some videos. The Brontë Sisters UK explores Haworth's historic church steps and their connection to the Brontë family, and The House of Brontë makes a Brontë literary tour around London.
