London is embracing its romantic side this February with a captivating pop-up experience inspired by the classic novel Wuthering Heights. The event, designed to celebrate the upcoming film adaptation, will transform part of the South Bank into a temporary haven for fans of the Brontë masterpiece.
What to Expect at the Wuthering Heights Experience
The activation, scheduled for February 7 and 8, will invite visitors to immerse themselves in the dramatic world of the story.
