Whether the sun’s shining or not, there’s plenty to keep all ages entertained at the Museum this summer – including daily museum trails and dressing up, and our completely free Family Day on Saturday 2 August!

Wild Wednesday!

Every Wednesday, 11am-3pm

Our popular Wednesday workshops are a great opportunity to sit down for a while with a local artist and make something Brontë-inspired to take home with you. Perfect for children, but all ages welcome!

See the table below for what activities are happening each week.

Busy Like the Brontës!

Every Thursday, 11am-3pm

The Brontës sketched, painted, embroidered and loved to create amazing tiny books to tell imaginary stories as children. Join us to have a go at a range of activities inspired by Brontë busy-ness.

On Thursday 7 August, the session will start at 12:30pm.

Remember, your ticket is valid for 12 months, so feel free to drop into our workshops every school holiday!

We kindly ask that you do not bring dogs or other pets to our in-person events unless stated otherwise (if you'd like to bring your service dog to an event, please let us know).
