History Society committee member Tim Neal took a visit to NT East Riddlesden Hall earlier this week (and the weather was appropriately “wuthering”) to see the property’s newest exhibition ‘Lights, Camera, Bronte: East Riddlesden Hall on Screen’.
It’s well worth a visit! It’s a combination of documenting how the Hall’s exteriors and interiors have been used in three seperate film and TV versions of Emily Bronte’s ‘Wuthering Heights’, with imaginative recreations of how Emily described the novel’s various settings.
The exhibition is spread around the house and is free to visit as part of paid-entry to the Hall and grounds. It’s open until at least the middle of May 2026.
It’s also worth noting that a small but comprehensive display has just opened at the Bronte Parsonage Museum that gives some background on many (all?) of the screen adaptations of ‘Wuthering Heights’ – some well known, some definitely not.
