Ever wondered what’s in a church, masjid, mandir or gurdwara? The Bradford Faith Trail offers a unique opportunity to discover a little bit about Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and Christian (Roman Catholic and Church of England) faith buildings, about the faiths within and how they link into Bradford’s local community culture and faith heritage.

The Bradford Faith Trail takes in five fascinating places of worship. You can visit as many places of worship as you like – each place of worship will be open for set times and you will be shown round by experienced guides who are there to answer your questions, and to make your visit more informative and enjoyable. You will then be accompanied to the next venue.

The Faith Trail normally takes place on the first Saturday of the month from March-October and can be walked on foot in a day. The whole trail starts at 10am at St Peter’s Catholic Church and finishes at approx 3:45pm at Bradford Cathedral.

The 2025 dates:
Saturday 1st March
Saturday 5th April
Saturday 3th May
Saturday 7st June
Saturday 5th July
Saturday 2nd August
Saturday 6th September
Saturday 4th October

Booking is essential. If you would like more information or to book a place please e-mail [email protected] as the first contact, or call 01274 77 77 20. Booking closes on the Wednesday before each Faith Trail date.

'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.

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.

There will be an official launch on Saturday 10th May at 3pm.
