We have just received photos (thanks Huddersfield Examiner) from the Mirfield Arts Festival, which took place on 16 July in good weather.The birthday celebration flag was flown by Society stalwart Angela Crow-Woods - who talked about Charlotte Brontë's first novel The Professor to an appreciative audience, after she had finished the opening ceremony.
Angela writes: "Young people started the festival in the morning with music and dancing, and then I officially opened the whole festival, which will hopefully be the first of many.
"This one was organised brilliantly by Jenny Tomlinson, Chair of the Friends of Mirfield Library. We also celebrated four hundred years of William Shakespeare with a performance of parts of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
"Mirfield has strong connections with the Brontës, and the Brontë Society should not forget it."
