A few of the upcoming events at the Brontë Birthplace in Thornton:
10th of September 2026, 6.30 pm

A quiet, simple session of guided meditation, somatic therapy, and the gentle practice of letting go.
Do you feel like your nervous system is constantly on high alert? Have you been carrying a quiet heaviness, rushing from task to task without a moment to simply stop and breathe? Is there something holding you back, and do you feel that now is the right time to let it go?
Join me at the Brontë Birthplace in Thornton for a beautifully held, intentional one-hour experience in a small, private group of just six people. This evening is specifically designed to help you step out of the restraints and give your body the safety it needs to rest, reset, and clear away the heavy weight that no longer serves you.
Sunday 13 September: 1100-1600

The historic house on Market Street in Thornton is well known as the birthplace of the Brontës, but what happened to it after they moved? Uncover the house's long history of being the local family-run butcher's shop in our exclusive exhibition.
Discover the remarkable story of one of Thornton's most important historic buildings and explore its many different lives.
From Brontë family home to village butcher's shop, visitor attraction and café, community-owned heritage site and restored Brontë Birthplace, this special drop-in exhibition explores the history of the building and the people who have helped shape its story.
Through photographs, plans, memories and material from the restoration project, discover what happened to the building after the Brontë family left Thornton.
Explore its later life as a working butcher's shop, followed by its time as a visitor attraction under Barbara Whitehead in the 1990s and early 2000s, and its later life as Emily's Café from 2014 to 2022.
The exhibition then follows the building into community ownership and the ambitious restoration project that transformed an empty and neglected building into the Brontë Birthplace visitors' experience today.
Discover the challenges, discoveries and community effort behind the restoration and learn how this remarkable building continues to evolve and serve a new generation of visitors.
The exhibition is available to explore at your own leisure throughout the day, with Thomas Haigh, Vice Chair and Marketing & Audience Development Lead, available to answer questions and share stories from the restoration project.
