US EditionNew 'Wuthering Heights' film unleashes fresh wave of Bronte-mania
The film has driven a surge in visitors to Haworth and boosted related ballet and immersive projects, with the Bronte Parsonage Museum seeing up to 500 visitors on one day, staff said.
- Two weeks after the film's release, the new big-screen Wuthering Heights film starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi with a Charli XCX soundtrack has sparked a surge of Brontemania in Haworth, West Yorkshire village, with Bronte Parsonage Museum staff calling the response "mind-blowing".
- Haworth's connection to the Brontës and the moors draws literary pilgrims, and the recent release is the latest adaptation of the 1847 novel, documented at the parsonage.
- Museum figures show 500 visitors arrived on one Saturday, while staff report increased tour requests, higher shop sales of Wuthering Heights copies, and presentations over the past fortnight.
- Rising visitor numbers mean increased tourism renews global attention to Haworth, but the church that sold the parsonage highlights past strain on Haworth residents.
- With rumours circulating this week of a Jane Eyre TV adaptation starring Aimee Lou Wood, the recently released Wuthering Heights film joins a tradition dating back to the 1920 inaugural film adaptation.
