About Bronte Parsonage Museum
Brontë Parsonage Museum
The beautifully preserved Georgian house, set between the unique village of Haworth, and the wild moorland beyond, has been opening its doors to visitors for over 75 years, and still retains the atmosphere of the Brontës' time there.
The rooms they once used are filled with their furniture, clothes and personal possessions, and displays are changed annually, so you can always be sure of seeing something new. Rooms include Mr Nicholl's study, the kitchen, the Children's study, Charlotte's room, and the dining room, all full of different treasures to discover!
The museum has a vibrant programme of creative days, plus exhibitions, talks, readings, and screenings throughout the year, so check their What's On page before you visit, or sign up to the mailing list.
Combine a visit with a trip into Haworth, with its beautiful cobbled streets, independent shops, play park in the valley and the Worth Valley Railway with regular steam trains to spot over the bridge too.
Home of the inspirational Brontë sisters
Set in the picturesque village of Haworth, Haworth Parsonage was the home of the Brontë family from 1820 to 1861 and the place where Charlotte Brontë wrote Jane Eyre, Emily Brontë wrote Wuthering Heights and Anne Brontë wrote The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Now the Brontë Parsonage Museum, it houses the world’s largest collection of Brontë furniture, clothes and personal possessions and offers an inspirational and evocative experience for people of all ages.
The world’s largest collection of Brontë items
Items on display in the intimate historic rooms include letters, notebooks and household artefacts. Highlights include Emily’s paint box, Charlotte’s sewing box, pebbles collected by Anne, a comb used by Emily and the bonnet worn by Charlotte on her wedding day. Visitors are always fascinated to see how tiny the sisters’ handwriting was, with the ‘Little Books’ being a favourite exhibit for many.
Who were the Brontë sisters?
Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë were born in a small, Yorkshire town in the early 1800s. They would go on to write some of the most extraordinary novels in the history of English literature.
