Two Brontë alerts. One in Haworth and the other in Banagher, Ireland:
Bradford Heritage Festival
Brontë Parsonage Museum
Thu 16 Jul 11:00am /2:00pm
The year is 1848.
Join Tabbitha Ackroyd (Brontë servant and confidante) and John Brown (grave digger and tippler) for their tour of Haworth. See the sights and get the gossip. Be introduced to doctors and lady novelists, maiden aunts and sewage inspectors. Keep your eyes peeled and you might spot a Brontë…
This event brings history to life through characters and stories the Brontës knew.
It is an outside promenade performance beginning at the Brontë Parsonage Museum and taking place in the churchyard and the top of Main Street.
This performance will last approximately 50 mins and is suitable for all ages.
The Banagher Brontë Group is holding a social gathering on Thursday week, July 16, in Corrigan's Corner Pub at 9pm.
The evening will begin with a special showing of 'Arthur & Charlotte: A Victorian Romance Remembered' which was performed in Tullamore in December 2019 by the Banagher Martello Tower Players.
The performance, which relates the romance between Arthur Bell Nicholls and his wife Charlotte Brontë, was filmed by Maebh O' Regan and features many well known Banagher faces.
Two eminent Brontë scholars, Ann Dinsdale and Sharon Wright will be in attendance as they are paying a short visit to Banagher en route to the Killkee Brontë Festival the following weekend.
Last call for this coming Friday night’s Banagher Brontë Group annual quiz in Seán Corrigan’s Corner Pub at 9 p.m.
Ray Flannery has prepared an array of interesting, humorous and challenging questions so it will be a night to enjoy.
Tables for teams of four are €40 each.
Many thanks to Nigel West who has donated a print of the Thornton Brontë Birthplace, value €125 for our raffle.
