    Bradford cathedral is a beautiful place. Free recitals on Wednesdays but check dates. Also a buffet lunch for £4.00 with tea or coffee. The cathedral has many exhibitions and events check out on google

    Lovely Cathedral in its own grounds. I liked the tapestries, the orange roses flower display and the women's stained glass window full of pinks and purples

    Candlelight: a tribute to Queen. Beautiful sounds, wonderful atmosphere in the Cathedral. Familiar music played in a way that was so mesmerising I found it quite emotional. I have never been to anything like this before but Im so glad I went. The string quartet were amazing! Thank you Candlelight, please come again.

    Went to see the Hans Zimmer candle light performance by string quartet string infusion. It was simply a stunning performance by a group of incredibly talented musicians. My only fault it i wish it went on for longer. If you havent seen it then do it! You wont regret it.

    Amazing venue. Queen isn’t the easiest group to ‘impersonate’ as their songs are anthems. This concert was wonderful, the musicians absolutely perfect

    Still glorious as it was many centuries ago. The environment is serene, the ambience is matchless and it isgood to see both young and old faithfuls still come in to express their faith.

    Well worth a visit. The old and new complement each other. Wonderful wood/ stone/ glass work.sit down and take it in.
  • 5/5 Ronald H. 1 year ago on Google
    Really beautiful inside. The contrast between the mediaeval parish church and the 20th century cathedral extension is very interesting. Both parts of the building are beautiful in their own way. We received a warm welcome

    Wonderful surroundings and architecture, friendly staff and at the time of visiting they had an exhibition of other churches and cathedrals ceilings . Pity the Rooftop Cafe across the road is now closed, it was very handy for the Cathedral and added to the experience .

    Beautiful visit with our school children. Very interesting tour and learnt a lot. Special thank you to the tour guide and the Dean for taking time to speak to us.

    We visited the cathedral for the " Meatloaf by candlelight " concert , the concert itself was superb but this review is about the cathedral and it was the perfect setting ! It truly is a remarkable building, the construction , architecture, stained glass etc were really interesting and it is great to see that a rock concert can be staged in such a marvelous setting.

    Wonderful Easter Day service. Fabulous singing and organist and organ were exceptional. Beautiful building, full of history.
  • 5/5 Cath M. 1 year ago on Google
    Love that such a beautiful building is being used to celebrate music and open up to a wider audience
  • 5/5 Kevin L. 1 year ago on Google
    If you like visiting cathedrals and churches for the history and atmosphere this one is great. Only recently a cathedral but a very long history to pre-Norman times and several rebuilds. A little like a big parish church and with a beautiful wooden ceiling from the 18th C. Modern stained glass I think. Very helpful vicar/verger? (sorry) happy to talk history and about the area.

    Not the biggest cathedral I've ever been to but it is lovely and quiet and I was treated to the singing rehearsal whilst I was there which was a nice background sound.
  • 5/5 matthew f. 2 years ago on Google
    An interesting former parish church (as quite a few Cathedrals are) on a hill. A fascinating building and don’t listen to people who disparage Bradford City. It’s wonderful!
  • 4/5 Mike V. 2 years ago on Google
    Attended a Choral Evensong. Fantastic musical experience. The Cathedral is so atmospheric and peaceful. A world away from COVID life, if just for 30 minutes.
  • 3/5 Erandika M. 2 years ago on Google
    It was quiet pretty but there was something happening there at the moment so couldn’t look around much!
  • 5/5 ciara s. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful, parish church size cathedral with a robed choir and very friendly clergy and lay staff.
  • 5/5 Martin A. 2 years ago on Google
    It's not often you see folk queuing to go into a Cathedral these days but this was because Lindisfarne were playing there recently. It was an excellent gig and those running the event were most helpful and informative. I hope they put on more events like this here in the future.

    Visited Bradford Cathedral on a snowy evening. The Cathedral is breathtaking and not to mention the Church Organ, I had the opportunity to listen to it played by someone when I visited.
  • 5/5 Anna S. 2 years ago on Google
    The people here are more like a friendly local church.

    Lovely small cathedral. Intimate feeling of the older church with sympathetic 20th century additions and William Morris stained glass.
