Brontë Blue Plaque Celebration & Book Launch

5.30pm Brontë Birthplace
6.30pm South Square Garden

Join us for a glass of prosecco and cicchetti (Italian canapés) at the birthplace of the Brontës in Thornton to unveil the blue plaque that marks the births of Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne Brontë on the day of Emily’s birthday. Writer and Brontë expert, Michael Stewart, will give a short talk.

This event will be followed by the launch of Michael Stewart’s new book, Walking the Invisible, in the beautiful newly re-landscaped garden at South Square Art Centre. There will be live music, readings, a book signing, street food supplied by Plenty at the Square, and a fully licenced bar, The Watchmakers.
