Behind the Scenes at the Brontë Parsonage Museum

May's History Society meeting is on Wednesday 13th May 2026. It will include a talk from Brontë Parsonage Museum's Principal Curator, Ann Dinsdale. Ann lectures and writes on aspects of the Brontës' lives and social conditions in mid-nineteenth century Haworth. But on this occasion, her talk will focus on how the museum operates - a subject she is well-versed to talk on, having been working at the museum for over twenty years.

The meeting will take place upstairs in the Civic Centre, on North Street. Doors open at 7.15pm and the meeting will start just before 7.30pm. Entry is free to History Society members, or £3.50 for anyone else who wants to just come along (booking is not required). Members can also choose to join the meeting via Zoom if they wish.

You can take out membership of the History Society at any of our meetings in the Civic Centre. Membership for the rest of 2026 costs £15 (or £20 for two people at the same address). Please pay in cash on the night. As well as free entry to our monthly meetings, membership also gets you invited to members-only events and you will receive the quarterly newsletter via email.
