The Brussels Brontë Group organises meetings and events in
Brussels throughout the year. You will
find details of these below. Annual Brontë weekend: each year we organise a weekend of events around the date of Charlotte Brontë's birthday (21 April). Details of past Brontë weekends below. Guided walks: we organise regular guided walks around Brontë places in Brussels. The walks take around one and a half hours and are usually held on a Sunday morning in central Brussels. If you'd like to register for the next one, please email helen.macewan@ec.europa.eu. Your name will be put on a mailing list and you will receive details of the next walk organised. Reading group: our reading group specialising in 19th century literature (not just the Brontës!) meets every few weeks for an informal discussion.
Past events
18-20 April 2008: Annual Brontë weekend For the second year running we organised a weekend of events to mark the anniversary of Charlotte Brontë's birthday. It opened with a meeting in Waterstone's bookstore with writers Robert Barnard, Eric Ruijssenaars, Maureen Peeck and Derek Blyth. The Bibliothèque des Riches Claires, assisted by our Group, organised an exhibition and one-day conference on Les Soeurs Brontë à Bruxelles at which Robert Barnard and Eric Ruijssenaars spoke alongside Brussels historians and the Héger descendant Paul Héger. We also repeated our very popular guided walk around Brontë places in Brussels.
