The Bronte sisters’ servant Tabby Aykroyd has returned to Haworth this weekend.

She is at the Bronte Parsonage Museum to tell visitors stories about the four famous siblings and 19th-century village life.

Tabby, played by Volunteer Education Assistant, Jan Lee, was at the museum on Good Friday and will return on Monday from 1pm to 3pm with more facts, fiction and folklore.

Oakworth Morris Men will dance at the museum on Monday at 3.15pm, then on Tuesday and Friday from 1pm to 3pm there will be an appearance by Charlotte Bronte’s friend Ellen Nussey.

The visits by actresses in period costume are among Easter holiday activities to keep families busy as they visit the Bronte shrine.

There will be ‘hands-on history’ on Wednesday and Thursday from 1pm to 3pm, allowing children to handle artefacts while a guide explains domestic details of life that the Parsonage in the 1800s.

Every day throughout the Easter holidays there will be the Parsonage’s latest exhibition, The Brontes: War and Waterloo, which explores the family’s fascination with war.

Also on display will be a dining table, bought recently by the Bronte Society, which the Bronte sisters used when they wrote novels like Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
