This year’s Bronte Vintage Gathering event will take place this weekend at Haworth Road, just down from The Flappit public house, on the edge of Cross Roads village. The country fair-style event covers everything from vintage tractors, steamers, cars, motorcycles, lorries, as well as farming displays, stationary engines, trade stands, craft tents and loads more, not forgetting the famous beer tent. For more information or to book a stall, visit bronte-vintage-gathering.co.uk.

The famous Haworth 1940s Weekend will take place on Saturday and Sunday, May 17 and 18 and will be raising funds again for the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA). The theme this year is the D-Day Landings as it is 70 years since this momentous operation, and the event will include a number of talks and an exhibition in the work of code breaking centre Bletchley Park. Haworth will have its own Station X. Haworth Central Park will play host to a number of re-enactors and living exhibitions, together with battle skirmishes. The Parsonage car park will be home to ‘Y Station’, a listening station receiving messages as well as the popular Spitfire plane on display, together with a collection of other interesting exhibitions and stalls retailing a multitude of items. A new item of interest will be at St Michael and All Angels Church. There is a tribute to paratrooper John Steel and those who liberated the town of St Mere Eglise, Normandy. The biggest attractions though are a Dakota flypast (weather permitting), vehicles of all types from the period, and the re-enactors in full 1940s dress having a stroll around the village.

The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway (KWVR) will be playing a large role in the 1940s Weekend. The railway takes the strain out of parking and adds to the war atmosphere – use Keighley, Ingrow West or Oxenhope as a park and ride and let the train do the work as it used to do.
