'What’s love got to do with it?' .... Very little!
Love is fickle and this Valentine’s, Bruce Castle will be hosting the perfect event for those who dread the build up to Valentine's Day.

Come on a blind date with us on Thursday 13 February and listen to eye opening tales of Cupid’s wayward arrows on a candlelit evening tour of The Castle. There’ll be stories of love unrequited, forbidden and ghostly, guaranteed to not leave you feeling all warm inside.

February's theme is: Made in Haringey!

Join us at Bruce Castle for morning tea and the opportunity to look at our collections and share stories. This February we will be celebrating all things 'Made in Haringey', with the chance to explore objects, photos and ephemera from industries including Barratt's Sweet Factory (Wood Green) and Harris Lebus (Tottenham Hale).

You’ll be able to chat and enjoy refreshments in a safe and welcoming environment.
