Bradford’s Historic Pubs and Inns – A Walk through entertainment history

11 Jul 2025

10:30

Tour begins on Manor Row

This tour will take us around where Bradford’s pubs and inns once stood. Once the venues of arts and entertainment, some of these pubs hosted wrestling matches, concerts, and even Charles Dickens.

The Walking tour has 10 stops. Although most of these pubs no longer exist, these sites were once the venues for arts and entertainment across the city. We will look at sites of famous pubs and inns such as The Royal Standard, once a punk rock venue, and the infamous Bermondsey Hotel, where hundreds of people across the city would flock to to see a show. The focus of the tour is arts and entertainment. You can find out more about each stop here under the ‘arts and entertainment’ section. The tour will take about 1hr 30 mins in total and can be a free event.
