AN award-winning bookshop has a packed programme of events catering for all ages lined up next month.
Wave of Nostalgia at Haworth is staging several activities, which take place in the Main Street shop or at neighbouring Cobbles & Clay.
First up is a visit from author Graham Watson on Wednesday, August 7, at 7pm.
He will read from his new biography, The Invention of Charlotte Bronte, which provides a fresh twist to the story of the Jane Eyre author.
Graham will also answer questions and sign copies of his book.
Football, comedy and lesbian history fan Kirsty Loehr is heading to the village on Thursday, August 22, at 7pm.
She will discuss her book, A Short History of Queer Women.
Author and journalist Sharon Wright – who began her journalistic career at the Keighley News – is visiting on the afternoon of Sunday, August 25.
Her latest book, The Lost History of the Lady Aeronauts, tells the story of women pioneers during the early years of aviation.
And Sharon spotlights new discoveries surrounding the mysterious death of young balloonist Lily Cove, who plunged to her death whilst performing at Haworth Gala in 1906.
The programme concludes with a free event for children on Saturday, August 31, at 2pm, when locally-based author Liz Flanagan will launch The Hidden Sea – the third instalment in her magical mystery series, Wildsmith, for youngsters over six – and will talk about some of Wildsmith’s adventures.
Wave of Nostalgia owner, Diane Park, says: "Haworth is a great place to visit at any time of the year, but it’s really buzzing in the summer holidays.
"To make sure all our visitors – and locals – are kept entertained, we’ve put together what we believe is great mixture of events with something for everybody. Do come along and take part.
"For anyone who can’t make it to Haworth for the events, most will also be shared on Zoom."

Earlier this year, Wave of Nostalgia was named north of England Independent Bookshop of the Year.
Over 70 finalists vied for regional and country accolades in the coveted awards scheme, organised by The Bookseller.
Tom Tivnan, of The Bookseller, described this year's judging process as "the most competitive" since the awards programme was conceived, with record numbers of submissions and unprecedented standards.
