About

From September 2025 until February 2026, Cartwright Hall is proud to host the Turner Prize 2025, one of the world’s leading awards for contemporary art. This internationally significant exhibition brings together work by the four shortlisted artists, offering audiences in Bradford the chance to experience some of the most exciting and thought-provoking art being made today. (Please note the Hockney Gallery will not be on public display during the Turner Prize.)

Turner Prize tickets are available from the Bradford 2025 website now, and you will need to book for entry.

Part of Bradford District Museum and Galleries, Cartwright Hall was purpose built on the former site of Manningham Hall and opened as a gallery in 1904.  It is locating in Green-Flag awarded Lister Park, about a mile from Bradford City Centre.

In need of a snack or a slice of cake? You’ll find the Refreshment Room Café at the bottom of the building, in its original 1904 location has achieved accreditation with the Kids in Museums Family Cafe Standard. A perfect spot to rest and refresh before you continue to explore. 

Bradford District Museums & Galleries are a family friendly organisation. We regularly organise free events, activities and workshops across all four sites particularly during the school holiday periods – check www.bradfordmuseum.org for the latest events and activities on offer.

Supported using public funding from Arts Council England.
