The Bronte Parsonage Museum is inviting people to take along family photos featuring the famous building.

Residents of BD20, BD21 or BD22 are invited to visit the Brontë Parsonage Museum for free on Sunday ((April 14)) as the Museum participates in ‘Go Local Day’.

As part of the celebrations, the Museum is inviting local residents to bring in their own family photographs of the Parsonage or Haworth from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, to contribute to its new ‘Heaven is a Home’ exhibition.

‘Heaven is a Home’ focuses on all the people who have lived at the Parsonage, both before and after the Brontës.

The exhibition includes an oral testimony by Eric Mitchell, the son of the Bronte Society’s first custodian, Harold Mitchell, who lived at the Parsonage with his wife and three sons from 1928 until 1961.

Eric was born at Haworth Parsonage in 1935 and visitors to the Museum can hear his recordings about what life was like in Haworth during his childhood.

Residents are invited to bring in their family photographs of time spent at the Parsonage or Haworth – pictures taken on the front steps of the Museum, playing in the churchyard or walking up Main Street, for example – which will be collected on the day and added to our exhibition online.

Brontë Society Director, Ann Sumner, will be at the Museum on Sunday morning to collect photographs and talk to visitors about their Parsonage memories.

To enjoy free entry to the Museum on Sunday, simply bring a utility bill or driving licence showing your local postcode.

The Museum opens at 10am and last admission is at 5pm. The Museum closes at 5.30pm.
