Walk followed by conversation and performances
Join Guest Curator Melanie Abrahams, guest speakers and artists John Agard, Sarala Estruch and Joe Williams, and local writer Tamar Yellin on a walk of Brontë pathways and moorlands,
and listen to unfolding narratives, alternative stories and flights of fancy along both well-trodden paths, and lesser known routes. This is a ‘walk of life’, inviting contemplation, reflection, and philosophical musings. Who knows which path you might take? Suitable for those who like walks with swing; for the curious of mind and spirit.
Listen to John Agard on Desert Island Discs here https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04p5m1k
Meet outside Parsonage Shop. The walk will be approx. 1 hour and will be followed by chat, commentary and performances in The Branwell Suite, Old White Lion, Haworth.
