The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever is an event held at locations around the world where participants recreate the music video for Kate Bush’s iconic song Wuthering Heights coming together to collectively perform the dance seen in the video (red dress version!).

The Birmingham Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever will be held to raise money for Birmingham-based charities Anawim – Birmingham’s Centre for Women and WE:ARE (Women’s Empowerment And Recovery Educators) Domestic Abuse Empowerment Programmes.

Participants will be asked to book a ticket and donate £5. Those who prefer to watch can come along to support and donate if they can.

Catherine from The Heath Bookshop said: “I am a huge Kate Bush fan and so when we opened the shop a friend beautifully upcycled a coffee table for us with a photo of Kate Bush and the pages of Charlotte Bronte’s Wuthering Heights covering it. Last year, I attended my first The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever in Miller Park in Preston, performing the iconic dance with hundreds of other people dressed as Kate Bush!

“It was a beautifully inclusive and moving event and raised a large amount of money for a charity helping women who are victims of domestic violence. I came back to Birmingham and suggested to Claire, the other owner of the shop, that we put one on in 2025 in Kings Heath to raise money for two Birmingham charities we have worked with before, Anawim and WE:ARE”.

Claire from The Heath Bookshop added: “We knew this would be a great event to hold in Birmingham and especially in Kings Heath as the local community support the many arts events that happen here and always support charity events. It seemed even more fitting that we should host a dance event since our employee, Abi, is also a dancer in her spare time! Each location that hosts the event have a video to teach participants the steps. We asked Abi if she’d be happy to learn the dance and to make a video to teach people that want to take part. She happily agreed and now we’re all ready to go!”

The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever events have previously taken place in locations such as Sydney, Copenhagen, Berlin, Folkestone, and Preston and typically take place in late July to coincide with Kate Bush’s birthday (30th July).

Catherine continued: “One thing we do need a bit of help with is that we are looking for a donation of a stage large enough to hold a PA system and for us to be raised up to demonstrate the dance to participants on the day, if anyone is able to donate this, we would be really grateful! The event really is open to everyone, you can do as much or as little of the dance as you like and all ages, genders and abilities are welcome. You can go full Kate Bush with your costume or simply wear a bit of red as a nod to the red dress Kate wears in the video”.
