Theatres, Museums & Entertainment

Bradford is an exciting district which is home to some of the most diverse and popular museums and theatres in Yorkshire.

Bradford is full of architectural gems with more listed buildings per square kilometre than any other regional city in Britain – a legacy from its pioneering textile industry and rich history.
	From the Baroque splendour of Cartwright Hall to museums like the Bradford Industrial Museum. These help bring Bradford’s history and heritage to life with the City always boasting something new to see and do.
The award winning National Museum of Photography, Film and Television is one of the most visited attractions outside London, attracting approximately 750,000 people a year.
	Bradford is a world in one city and this is especially reflected in the multicultural festivals that draw different communities together. The Bradford International Festival culminates in the world renowned Mela. This summer some of the major festivals included the Delius Festival for the Bradford born composer and a David Hockney exhibition.
The Alhambra Theatre in Bradford, built in 1914 and refurbished in 1986, is recognised as the North's premier touring venue and hosts the best in large scale entertainment from ballet and opera to variety and comedy, musicals, drama and, of course, the annual pantomime.

The Victorian built St. George's Concert Hall is home to a wide range of entertainment bringing the cream of touring music, comedy and variety shows to the region. The beneficiary of a multi-million pound refurbishment which was completed in 1984, St. George's has become a first choice for major international artists.
