Lynne Arnison, chairperson of the Makers, which is a collective, said: “Scarborough’s connections with the Bronte family are many and of course Anne Bronte was laid to rest in the town in 1849.

“As this exciting festival and new production of Jane Eyre takes place, Shop at the SJT will be wholeheartedly supporting the production by showcasing some of the local area’s most eclectic gift-making talents, some of which will have a Bronte-inspired theme.

"Supporting our Makers ensures crafting and creativeness are kept vibrant and varied and this iconic venue is an inspirational place to support such local talent."
