The Bronte Parsonage Museum and shop are open Wednesday - Sunday and on Bank Holiday Mondays. However, please note that January is our annual conservation period and we are open on Saturdays and Sundays only. We recommend pre-booking your visit. Booking information can be found on the Visit Us page of our website. The Bronte Parsonage Museum is the former home of the Bronte family and the place where 'Jane Eyre', 'Wuthering Heights' and 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' were written. The historic rooms are displayed as the Brontes would have known them and house the world's largest collection of Bronte manuscripts, furniture and personal possessions.
The museum exhibits well curated items in the house where the Bronte sisters were brought up and wrote their early childhood stories, their self-published poems, and their famous novels. There are plenty of panels explaining the history of the house and the family to get immersed into, but also a few interactive items, for the most active souls. There is a lovely shop at the end of the tour, where you can find the most exquisite editions of the books written by the sisters. The house is surrounded by a nice garden, where you can see a bronze sculpture displaying the trio. The house is at the highest point of the 'Bronte village' in Haworth, a wonderful visit in all, with splendid shops and pubs, being the museum the jewel on top. There is a car park with public toilets very close to the museum (you have to pay in order to use any of them).
Lovely museum. Well worth a visit if you're in the area and interested in learning more about the Bronte's. Appreciated the calm bags they had available at the front desk (with ear defenders, fidget toys etc), a nice touch.
On the bright side, this house was certainly the house the Brontes lived in and the one used in the PBS series on them. It was also a proper re-creation of how it was for them. On the less brilliant side is that the Brontes were rather poor -- this was a parsonage after all -- and so there's not that much to it. We did something random around our visit that felt extra meaningful. That is, we walked there from the nearby Oxenhope and on our return tried the public footpath. (You don't need to come from there to get this experience.) On the walk, think to yourself that minus the cars and modern features, these are paths the Brontes likely followed. And unless you believe that they were rich enough to only travel by carriage, the footpaths were likely the same and look almost identical to those they took.
A lovely and haunting place, and such a treat to see into the daily lives of the Bronte family as well as read so much about them. Waited ~10 mins to get in, lined up in the beautiful garden with a view of the church where most of the family is buried so I didn't mind a bit. The house was a bit cramped as it was full to capacity that day but everyone was polite and there was plenty to look at. Staff do a fantastic job of keeping an eye on things and making visitors feel welcome. My only gripe is that I wish the museum had more about Anne and Emily (but especially Anne). And you must visit the Anne stone in the fields behind, part of an installation of stones across Yorkshire for the Bronte children and the only stone near the house as Anne's the only one not buried at home with her family.
What a amazing experience, the Bronte museum is set in the beautiful Haworth village. The items in the house are exemplary and give an amazing insight to the Bronte family history,the house is perfectly looked after and staffed by very insightful and passionate individuals. Make sure to have a walk into town and visit the locations that the family used in their daily life's.
If you're a bronte lover, this is a place to go. Well maintained museum surrounded by many buildings, personage and gift shop. It also has a commonwealth graveyard next to it. I do want to mention that the tickets are a bit pricey so plan the journey. Also car park doesn't take card so do carry cash. Easy access to wonderful town center with roads from the museum.
