A day of storytelling with Sophia Hatfield...
Are you sitting comfortably...?
Join Storyteller-in-Residence
Sophia Hatfield on
Thursday 15 and Saturday 24 August as she performs live stories and songs inspired by the servants who lived and worked in the Parsonage.
Using a basket of everyday objects curated by designer Rachel Shore, Sophia will reveal the fabulous folk tales behind them. From cheeky boggarts to fierce witches and tiny toy soldiers, each original story is inspired by Yorkshire folklore, local history, and the incredible creative worlds crafted by the Brontë children.
These days of storytelling and music accompany our
How to Build a Storyteller installation and wider programme of events based on our
Brontës' Web of Childhood exhibition.
