Ecclesiastical Textiles’ Tour

1 Feb 2025

11:30 - 12:30

Bradford Cathedral

This tour is fully booked, but there are still spaces on the 1:30pm tour which can be booked at https://ecclesiastical-textiles-2.eventbrite.co.uk/

Bradford Cathedral is fortunate enough to have in its collection a number of beautiful, intricate and historically significant ecclesiastical textiles. These include altar frontals and other textiles designed by Morris & Co., the Leek Embroidery Society, Bradfordian artist Ernest Sichel and renowned Bradfordian embroiderer, Louisa Pesel, who designed an altar frontal that was worked on by shell-shocked soldiers during World War One. There are also contemporary textiles designed by Polly Meynell.

Join us as we tour the Cathedral, seeing these stunning textiles in situ- some of which are rarely on display- and hearing the fascinating stories behind them.

Light refreshments will be available after the tours.
Places are limited. Book early to avoid disappointment.
