About This Event
Join our expert historian to tour Bradford Cathedral and see our stunning textiles- some that are rarely on display.
Bradford Cathedral is fortunate enough to have in its collection a number of beautiful, intricate and historically significant ecclesiastical textiles. Join our expert historian to tour the building and see these stunning textiles in situ- some that are rarely on display- and hear the fascinating stories behind them.
Highlights include:
- Altar frontals and other textiles designed by Morris & Co.
- An altar frontal designed by renowned Bradfordian embroiderer, Louisa Pesel, that was recently showcased on BBC1's Antiques Roadshow
- Works by Bradfordian artist Ernest Sichel
- Contemporary textiles designed by Polly Meynell
We look forward to sharing these works of art with you. Light refreshments will be available after the tours.
Accessibility information
Unfortunately, due to the fact that some of the textiles are located in parts of the building that can only be reached by stairs, this tour is unsuitable for wheelchair users. Bradford Cathedral was largely built in the 15th century, on a steep hillside, and has Victorian and 20th century additions that include a number of sets of steps and narrow spaces that are unsuitable for ramps. We apologise that this particular tour isn't accessible for wheelchair users and we are working to make this challenging building more accessible.
