CHARLOTTE Brontë’s friend Ellen Nussey will meet visitors to a Haworth museum during the Easter holidays.
Ellen has decided to visit the Brontë Parsonage Museum because was dismayed to hear that Charlotte was about to get married.
The Brontës’ much-loved servant Tabby Aykroyd will also be at the museum to reminiscence about the famous siblings’ childhood days.
Ellen will be at the museum on March 30, April 7 and April 10 from 1pm to 3pm, while Tabby will be in residence on Good Friday, April 3 and Easter Monday.
Visitors can join a guided walk around Haworth on March 31 and hear a talk about the Brontës’ famous ‘little books’on April 1, both from 2pm.
Visitors can make a miniature garden with local artist Rachel Lee on April 2, and handle items from the museum’s collection of domestic artefacts on April 8 and 9, from 1pm to 3pm.
The museum is also hosting a new exhibition, The Brontës, War and Waterloo.
All events are free with admission to the museum. Visit bronte.org.uk for further information.
