COMMITTEE FOR FOREIGN ASSISTANTS IN

TRIP TO - Saturday 19th November 2016

This trip will be led by Peter Lodge and Dominique Lodge (FLAC members).

You will need to make your own way to Haworth and to the Brontë Parsonage Museum (https://www.bronte.org.uk/). Peter and Dominique will meet you at 11:00 at the shop round the back of the museum.

You will then have a guided walk (free of charge) around this typical Yorkshire village, followed by a visit to the Parsonage Museum, the home of the Brontë sisters (and brother!). Entrance to the museum will be £5.50 (discounted group rate) - please give your money to Peter Lodge on arrival, so he can pay the museum in one lump sum.

You will then have free time to have lunch and wander round this typical Yorkshire village, which has a wonderful range of little independent shops and a thriving vintage scene, with several excellent vintage boutiques. The trip also coincides with the Haworth Steam Punk Weekend, with street entertainers and interesting costumes on display!

There is no need to pay anything in advance for this trip, but if you wish to attend please let us know by emailing [email protected], so we can let the Parsonage know the size of the group visiting the museum.
