Haworth's Lanternlight Graveyard Tours
Just a few kilometres from the centre of Bradford, Yorkshire, set high in the wild Pennine moors lies the historic village of Haworth, known throughout the world for the Parsonage home of the literary Bronte sisters. It is here during the darker months of the year that local guide Philip Lister will be presenting a series of Lanternlight Graveyard Tours around the graveyard believed to house almost 40,000 souls.

River Thames Jazz Cruise
Tour operator Discount London is offering lunchtime Jazz Cruises along the River Thames. Enjoy this sightseeing tour in a relaxed atmosphere, with live jazz entertainment and a three course a la carte menu, for just £31.50 per person.

Rotherham Countryside Events
The Rotherham (Yorkshire) area plays host to a variety of family events this autumn, ranging from an apple festival to a mushroom walk through the surrounding woods.

Moorcroft porcelain exhibit at Castle Howard
Castle Howard is famed for its extensive collections of fine art and exquisite porcelain including fine and precious examples of Meissen, Chelsea, Minton and Crown Derby representing three hundred years of excellence in the decorative arts. During Friday, Saturday and Sunday (26-28th September 2003) a fitting addition to this collection will be the stunning display of the highly sought-after and collectable 'Moorcroft' pottery and enamels.
