Crafting the Cathedral

Occurring
for 1 day, 3 hours
Venue
Bradford Cathedral
Address
Stott Hill Bradford, BD1 4EH, United Kingdom

In July, as part of our “Weaving Stories” project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, we are holding two days of free events which will appeal to crafting groups, crafters, general members of the public and families.

Included in the activities over the two days will be opportunities to: watch demonstrations by stone carvers and the Bradford Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers; try your hand at embroidery and basic weaving; view our current “Knit the Stripes” and “Woven Lives” exhibitions; see the Cathedral stitchers in action, and much much more.

As well as all these free events there will also be the opportunity to learn more about the textiles and other beautifully-crafted treasures of the Cathedral, by joining one of our ecclesiastical textiles’ or craft-centred tours of the Cathedral.

Bradford Cathedral

Bradford's beautiful Cathedral is a hidden jewel waiting to be discovered. Set in tranquil gardens the Cathedral is alive with a sense of story from its thirteen centuries at the heart of the city.


This, the third church on the site, is over 500 years old, with twentieth century additions. Bradford's most ancient place of worship is friendly, peaceful and fascinating, with many special features.


The parish of Cathedral Church of St. Peter Bradford is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Leeds’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
