General information

We hope you enjoy your Brontë Society membership and will want to continue your valuable support for another year. 

Four to six weeks before your membership is due to expire, we’ll contact you and explain how to renew your membership. This can be done in person at the Museum shop or by phoning 01535 642323 and asking to speak with our Membership Officer. 

Alternatively, you can complete and return the renewal form found at the bottom of this page.

Our events programme is one of our highlights. We offer something for everyone, from author talks and writing workshops to opportunities to explore our collection. 

Readers and writers should look out for our annual Brontë Festival of Women’s Writing. If your interest is in the collection or the Brontë family, then give Parsonage Unwrapped or Brontë Treasures a try. Our online Brontë Lounge and Thursday Talks series are brilliant for those of you who can’t get to Haworth.

Explore what’s on here, and look out for members’ concessionary prices on selected events.

There are groups of Brontë Society members throughout the world and in the UK. These groups are self-organised, meet regularly, and run their own Brontë-related events.

For details on getting in touch with a group near you, download the members' groups contact sheet at the bottom of this page.

The Society’s AGM usually takes place in October each year, but the exact date may change.
