Saturday is the 200th anniversary of the day Patrick Bronte and Maria Branwell – later parents to the four famous writing Brontes, Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne – married at Guiseley Church.
To mark the occasion, the Bronte Parsonage Museum is offering a day of free activities – and a piece of wedding cake – to all visitors.
Visitors can meet ‘Mrs Bronte’ as she tours the museum in her wedding dress, listen to a short talk about Maria and Patrick’s courtship and wedding at intervals throughout the day, handle original period costume items, enjoy children’s activities in the foyer and get a free slice of that commemorative wedding cake.
‘Mrs Bronte’ will be at the museum between 11am and 4pm, and is available for pictures outside the church, in the museum and in the museum garden.
