Welcome To Haworth Village
Welcome To Haworth Village - Twinned with Machu Picchu, Peru Nestling just below the atmospheric West Yorkshire moors, the beautiful village of Haworth is the jewel in the crown of the Worth Valley. Just to the north of Bradford, Haworth is internationally famous for its connections with the Brontë family, and the three sisters in particular. The majority of their famous works were written during the time they lived at the village Parsonage, whilst their father was parson at the nearby church of St. Michael and all the Angels. Throughout the year, the village hosts many unique and interesting events . There is the spectacular 1940's weekend where the village steps back in time to the decade that brought an end to the second world war and a new beginning, as life returned to normal. On display throughout the village are vintage cars and military vehicles, whilst bands and street performers entertain the crowds. On Saturday night, ‘big band’ dances are held, where locals and visitors alike are encouraged to don wartime attire and join in with the nostalgic atmosphere. If you were a child of the 1960’s
Why not polish your leather jacket, dust off your drapes, fumigate your kaftan, unwrap your micro-mini or pop on your parka and come and join us ?
At Christmas there are 6 weekends of festivities including the famous ‘Scroggling of the Holly’, where Father and Mother Christmas are welcomed to the village and ‘The Torchlight Procession’ which winds up Main Street to the Church.
Full details of all weekends are listed in the events section.
Haworth boasts many cosy tea rooms, interesting shops and charming restaurants. There are a number of welcoming pubs and hotels as well as guest houses and B&Bs, making it an ideal base for exploring Brontë Country, whilst still being within easy reach of Bradford and Leeds .
Come and enjoy our village; we are looking forward to meeting you
