This is a vibrant time, with international entertainers filling Centenary Square, the parks and the streets with colour, music and dance. Culture and Heritage Bradford is home to the national Museum of Photography, Film and Television and The Alhambra Theatre is one of the most important theatres outside London. St George's Hall is a major venue for musical events. As testament to its textile heritage Bradford houses The Industrial Museum . Here you will see a street of workers' cottages through the ages, see the mills and the mill owner's house, and visit many of the craft fairs hosted at the museum.
Entrance is free.
The Colour Museum is to be found in Bradford as is the Textile Archive at the College. Have a look at Little Germany where the architecture brought by the merchants of the 1900s evokes memories of Berlin in the earlier part of the century. About half an hour from the city centre is the village of Haworth and the Bronte Parsonage Museum , where you can examine the lives of the Bronte sisters, in surroundings which have changed little since they wrote their famous novels. Take the steam train on the Keighley Worth Valley Railway for a step back in time. The market town of Skipton and Otley and the spa town of Harrogate are also just a short distance away.
