As part of Heritage Open Days 2026, join us at Bradford Industrial Museum on Sunday 20 September for a celebration of traditional skills, craftsmanship and making.
Inspired by Made by Many Hands, an exhibition exploring heritage crafts and the people who keep them alive, this special event will showcase a variety of craft traditions that have shaped our local and national heritage. Discover the knowledge, techniques and creativity that have been passed down through generations, and learn more about the vital role craftspeople have played in industry, communities and everyday life.
Further details and activities will be announced soon.
