Museums offer up all manner of awe-inspiring activities throughout the year. But what weird and wonderful things go on after dark? This Halloween, experience museums at night – and prepare for a fright!

Brontë Parsonage Museum, Keighley

The former family home and dedicated place of homage to two literature’s most reputable sisters, Brontë Parsonage Museum is offering an evening of fittingly gripping tales this October.

Join Settle Stories’ Sita Brand for some freaky folklore as you warily wander the corridors of this historic building by candlelight. With this one-off event only taking place on the 25th of October, be sure to be there – if you dare.
