The museum is done with much love and respect towards the Brontë family and it's a pleasure walking through their home. The information boards make you feel closer to them as they give you an insight into their daily life. The staff were very friendly too, they were always happy to answer any questions about the Brontës and their life.
What a wonderful place, full of fascinating exhibits. It was incredible to see the place that many of these wonderful works of literacy were created and even the pen and writing table belonging to their famous authors, as well as articles of clothing, and see the very window seats where they'd have sat and looked out. Reasonably priced and a well stocked museum shop too.
The Bronte's home ( The Parsonage ),a dedicated museum to the Bronte family. Interesting and in depth look into their life and times . Situated over two floors, with a shop and toilets at the rear. £13 standard adult entrance fee. Can get very busy on weekends and Bank Holidays.
Wonderful museum. I'd wanted to visit for years and finally did recently. Spotting the parsonage from the exit/ back entrance of the church was such a magical moment. I really recommend getting your first glimpse there. The environs were so beautiful, what an appropriately magical atmosphere. The parsonage was delightful. Highlights were the piano, Anne's bloodied handkerchief, Branwell's painting of Emily, Charlotte's hair and dress, Maria's inscribed comb, and Patrick's glasses. I also loved seeing the apostle cupboard referenced in Jane Eyre. I'd been a fan for years but was unaware that their poor, elder sisters had been so close in age to them. That was really thought-provoking. I bought lots of things from the gift shop - my favourite of which were simple copies of a drawing of and by Anne, my favourite Brontë. The moors were to die for. Spectacular trip.
Step through the door of the Brontë Parsonage Museum and you step back theough history. You don't have to be a fan of the Brontë Sisters to appreciate this excellent museum which is packed with furniture and items belonging to the Brontë family in a faithful recreation of their home. After a short wait in the pleasant surroundings of the garden we were ushered in and allowed to take in the surroundings at our own pace, taking in as little or as much as we chose through information boards, our own guidebook and a series of QR codes which add to the experience. After visiting the main rooms we spent some time in the exhibition that was full of interesting information and more artifacts before descending to the shop. The shop is full of great gifts and souvenirs and if you purchase books the staff will stamp them to show that they were purchased at the museum. Parking is conveniently located a few metres away from the museum at £1.50 an hour payable by cash, card or via the RingGo app but if that car park is full there is another pay and display car park nearby. The toilet facilities at the museum are impressive, very clean and well-maintained. There were a lot of staff on-site who were all very friendly and happy to talk and answer questions. As we visited in the middle of August the museum was busy and as space is at a premium it wasn't always the most comfortable of experiences but when we were returning to the car later on there wasn't even a queue so there are probably quieter times to visit! This museum is a must-see if you are in the area. In addition, the church that houses the Brontë crypt is the other side of the garden wall and the village itself is very picturesque.
An emotional experience that is a must for any Brontë fan. Lovely, friendly staff and so much care and attention taken in keeping the house and it's artefacts well loved. Very emotional seeing the rooms where Emily and Charlotte passed. Activity booklet for children to complete as they look around, which was helpful. Splendid gift shop at the end too with lots to buy, you just have to decide what! (I could have bought it all!). Will definitely return in the future!
How brilliant to walk through the very rooms where the Bronte sisters lived and wrote. An exceptional collection of artefacts as well as lots of fascinating insights into their lives. All in a beautiful setting.
We loved the Parsonage! Steeped in Bronte history, such an intimate house where you could picture the family living. So much interesting information too. Highly recommend!
Lovingly restored and redecorated rooms. Many personal belongings and items of the Bronte family on display, even the collar of Emily's dog Keeper. Lots of information and very interesting special exhibitions. Staff was friendly and did a great job at keeping the visitor flow inside the house organised. Have visited various times, there's always something new to discover. Very memorable!
It's an interesting place to visit, when we visited it got busy and the rooms are quite small so it ment waiting to get into the rooms. The items in the Museum are interesting and lots to read up about. It's one way and not easy to get back to the rooms downstairs if you missed one. As you leave via shop.
