1 man with questions. 3 huge knitted tapestries. A 15-year search for answers, with funny, moving stories along the way.

The Knitting Pilgrim, which has toured across Canada and to Austria, Germany, and the US, is a one-hour, one-man interdisciplinary show, followed by a 30-45 minute talkback. The audience meets Kirk Dunn as he knits in front of three large projection screens. He welcomes the audience and suggests he teach them how to knit – a gentle entry into a conversation about Kirk's life as a churchgoer, actor and knitter, and how, prompted by the tragedy of 9/11, he found himself knitting a triptych of tapestries, designed in the style of stained-glass windows, which explore the commonalities and conflicts of the Abrahamic faiths.

On stage are baskets of yarn and needles so the audience can knit along if they like. Kirk tells them that he will eventually use all of the pieces which the audience knit during the tour into a new piece of art to represent people knitted together.

As Kirk's performance builds, the screens are used for image and video projection, including interviews with Christian, Muslim and Jewish consultants who add their perspectives to his journey. At times comedic, at times soulful and spiritual but never preachy, Kirk intertwines stories of the rise of xenophobia, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, fear of 'the other,' and how social media pours gasoline on the fire.

He also talks about the trials and tribulations of what ended up being a 15-year journey completing the tapestries, his doubt about his art, and questioning his right to address the interfaith issues which plague the world.

At the end of the show, Kirk has—through his humble manner of making no pronouncements and only asking questions—knitted together the strands of his stories to demonstrate that the Abrahamic faiths have more in common than not, and that they all strive for the same thing: peace.

After the faith leaders on the screens wish the audience Peace, Shalom and Assalamu alaikum, Kirk pulls down the screens to reveal the magnificent knitted tapestries, unlike anything else in the world. He invites the audience to come close, take a look, and engage in conversation, not just now, but moving forward, with peace and empathy, in their own lives.

Doors will open at 6:30pm. A bar, selling a selection of drinks and snacks, will be open until around 7:30pm.

Weaving Stories is an exciting art and heritage project led by Bradford Cathedral as part of our contribution to the UK City of Culture 2025, with funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Through a loom installation in the Cathedral, we will invite local communities to co-create a breathtaking new tapestry, weaving together the rich, shared stories of Bradford’s wool trade—a heritage deeply embedded in the city’s diverse, global communities. The loom will be accompanied by a special ‘sound tapestry’: a recorded collection of voices and stories.

This project is about more than preserving history; it’s about bringing people together. By taking part, you will help safeguard an at-risk heritage craft, learn new skills, and build lasting connections with one of Bradford’s most significant cultural spaces.

The completed tapestry will then go on display in the Cathedral after a launch event on St. Blaise Day, Tuesday 3rd February 2026.

'Our Bradford' is an exhibition created by Airedale Stitchers. Our starting point was thinking about what makes Bradford home for us. Our ideas were diverse, memories of growing up and working in the area to the love of the landscape and the historical industrial heritage. These are represented in a variety of textile techniques.

There will be an official launch on Thursday 15th May at 2pm. To sign up for the launch event see the link below.

The Service at St Paul's Cathedral is one of the oldest choral music events in the world, and brings together three of the UK's finest cathedral choirs. Lichfield Cathedral Choir will join the choirs of Bradford - the 2025 UK City of Culture - and St Paul's, under the cathedral's majestic dome.

You can find out more - and book your free places - on the Clergy Support Trust website.

"ART OF ANDALUCIA" is a captivating celebration of Daniel Martinez's exceptional artistry in the world of flamenco. This unique concert offers a full immersion into the essence of flamenco, featuring a carefully curated selection of Daniel's most celebrated works from his discography, including his award-winning production "Art of Believing" and his latest masterpiece, "Andalucia." Additionally, the concert will provide an exclusive sneak peek into his eagerly awaited third album, offering the audience an exclusive first listen to some of his new music.

"ART OF ANDALUCIA" is not just a music concert; it's an homage to the rich tradition of flamenco dance. Daniel Martinez strives to achieve a harmonious balance between music and dance, elevating the latter to a starring role in the show. To realise this vision, the concert will showcase two extraordinary dancers whose artistry and passion are set to ignite the stage, taking the audience on a sensory journey through the heart of Andalucia. Daniel will compose and create original music specifically for each dancer's choreography, which will be uniquely choreographed exclusively for this production and can only be seen on this tour. This meticulous alignment of music and movement ensures a seamless and immersive experience, celebrating the profound connection between flamenco music and dance.

One of the dancers, the world-renowned Angel Reyes, will grace the stage with his extraordinary talent. Angel, a member of Manuel Liñan's company, has also distinguished himself for many years as the second dancer in Jesus Carmona's company. Globally celebrated for his impeccable technique and fiery passion, his performances are mesmerising, leaving the audience spellbound and deeply moved. His presence in "ART OF ANDALUCIA" elevates the concert to an unmissable cultural event, bringing a unique and electrifying energy.

Joining Angel is the fantastic Gabriela Pouso, the exceptional dancer for the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company. Since its beginnings, Gabriela has been an integral part of the company, performing on the biggest and most important stages across the UK. She was instrumental in the company's success when they won the prestigious Herald Angel Award, captivating the more than 60,000 people who have attended their concerts since 2017. Her performances blend elegance, grace, and intensity, enthralling audiences with every movement.

The experience is completed by the presence of their stunning singers and palmeros Inma Montero and Danielo Olivera, who bring pure soul and heart to flamenco, along with percussionist Julian Ticotico whose rhythm will be the pulse of an unforgettable night. Additionally, there will be a total of eight musicians on stage, each contributing their mastery to create a symphony of sounds that will transport you to Andalucia. "ART OF ANDALUCIA" is not just a concert; it is a cultural encounter, a fusion of music and dance that aims to bring the magic of flamenco beyond the borders of Spain, directly to the heart of the United Kingdom. Prepare to be part of a night where passion, art, and tradition intertwine to create something truly extraordinary. Immerse yourself in this vibrant celebration of Andalucian culture and let the spirit of flamenco envelop you in a unique and unforgettable experience.
