A black and white photograph of Bradford Festival Choral Society on stage

About

Discover 170 years of Bradford Festival Choral Society through photographs, programmes and stories from its remarkable archive - from Victorian Bradford to garden parties, balls and everyday choir life throughout its history.

The exhibition will explore some of the people, places and stories we've been uncovering as part of our 170th anniversary research, as well as inviting visitors to share their own BFCS memories, photographs or memorabilia. Do you have a BFCS connection yourself? Bring your memories and help us uncover more, including the search for a long-lost garden party photograph given to choir members over a century ago.
