One of Haworth's most prestigious tourist attractions had its 80th birthday this month.

And the Brontë Parsonage Museum celebrated the milestone by inviting adults and children to help create a giant natural artwork on the front lawn.

Environmental artist Lesley Martin created the piece - based around the number 80 - entirely from flowers, ferns and leaves.

Residents also benefited from the birthday festivities - they were granted free entry to the museum on proof of a BD21 or BD22 address.

And visitors aged 80 years and over will be offered free entry throughout August.

Brontë Parsonage arts officer Jenna Holmes said Monday's anniversary celebrations had been appreciated by all.

She said: "With the free entry offer, we had a lot of people come who perhaps haven't been for a long time, which is really nice.

"In it's 80th year the museum is doing really well, we have some really exciting projects - for example the Emily Brontë portrait from the National Portrait Gallery and we have the Gondal manuscripts too. It is just going from strength to strength."

The natural artwork was just one of a string of events planned for the Parsonage this month.

On August 22, chainsaw artist Dominic Clare will create a sculpture from a felled tree that Emily Brontë is said to have planted.
