Arts and crafts workshops and a display of costumes from an upcoming ITV adaptation of Wuthering Heights are among the half-term holiday attractions at the Brontë Parsonage Museum next week.
Bafta award-winning costume designer Amy Roberts has worked with the Haworth museum to display several of the costumes she created for the TV drama, to be broadcast later this year.
Visitors will be able to see items worn by characters, including Heathcliff, Cathy and Isabella, on display in the museum’s period rooms and learn more about how the costumes were created.
From Tuesday until Thursday inclusive the museum education officer Susan Newby will be running drop-in arts and crafts activities for families.
And the newly renovated major exhibition room is now showcasing more of the museum’s collection of precious manuscripts and artefacts than ever before. Its interactive design and new graphics also offer fun ways for children to explore the Brontë story.
Also currently on display at the museum is a new contemporary exhibition by Haworth-based artist Victor Buta, who will be running a workshop on Saturday, February 28, for beginner or experienced artists to create their own paintings. For further information contact museum arts officer Jenna Holmes on 01535 640188.
Special entry-price coupons to the museum will be available throughout next week from shops and cafés in the village.
