Welcome

It is a joy to be part of this remarkable place at the heart of a vibrant and diverse city. As Interim Dean, I am delighted to invite you to discover all that the cathedral offers.

This is a place for everyone — whether you come for worship, to explore our rich history, to attend an event, or simply to find a moment of stillness. You are welcome here, just as you are.

At Bradford Cathedral, we are seeking to share something of the life and love of Jesus in the everyday life of this city and beyond. You might join us for a service (in person or online), light a candle, or simply sit quietly and take a breath.

Whatever draws you here, and wherever you are on your journey, we would love to welcome you. And if you have questions, or would like to find out more, please do get in touch — we would be glad to hear from you.

With every blessing,
Rev. Canon Jonathan Triffitt
Interim Dean of Bradford
