Welcome to Bradford

Discover the Bradford district, where fresh air and natural beauty await, and heritage and culture captivate. Explore two UNESCO designations — Bradford City of Film and the World Heritage Site of Saltaire — alongside stunning countryside and the former home of literary greats, all within a city rich in diverse cultures and shaped by the legacy of UK City of Culture 2025.

Bradford offers four unique areas, each with distinctive experiences for new visitors and returning explorers. Walk in the footsteps of the Brontës in Haworth, stroll across Ilkley Moor ‘Bah’t at’, spend a relaxing Sunday with Hockney in Saltaire or catch a West End show at the Alhambra Theatre. Wherever you go, inspiration is never far away.
