Oakwell Hall in Birstall will be celebrating with a Living History event from noon-5pm both days, when entry and all activities are free.
There will be historical demonstrations, a beekeeping display, knitting and stitching in the museum, while outside there will be a birds of prey display with a griffon vulture – which has an 8ft wingspan – an American bald eagle, harris hawks and an eagle owl.
In addition the Friends of Oakwell, who organise the museum's monthly Living History events, will demonstrate butter making and painting. On the Saturday visitors can make God's Eyes – a hanging decoration originally made in South America to ward off evil spirits – and on Sunday they can have a go at quill pen writing.
Visitors to Red House in Gomersal will see the period house, former home to Mary Taylor, which was the model for Briarmains in Charlotte Brontë's novel Shirley.
