Why do we love following in the footsteps of our favourite writers? Starting with the Grand Tour through to modern film adaptations, discover how literary tourism has changed in the UK over the centuries.
This talk will focus on literary pilgrimages to the Brontës' home in Haworth, beginning in the late 19th century. Since then, millions of visitors have travelled from across the world to experience the place where Charlotte, Emily and Anne wrote their famous novels. Now, the 2026 release of Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights continues to draw new audiences to the home of the Brontës.
If the event is cancelled, we’ll contact you. We reserve the right to make changes to our programme. All information is correct at the time of booking. 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).
