Join us for stories inspired by friendship, faith, belief, love and community.  Finishing with magical music from the brilliant Bradford Friendship Choir.

Our Storytellers Jumana Moon and Tim Ralphs will take you on a captivating and inspiring journey of uplifting stories in the atmospheric setting of The Beacon in Lister Park.

Jumana Moon is a traditional storyteller, with a special love for stories from Islamic tradition. She tells stories from Quran, Hadeeth & Seerah stories as well as from the wealth of traditional folktales, wonder tales and wisdom tales.

Tim Ralphs’ storytelling is rooted in the oral tradition: The craft of a speaker weaving language and gesture to entrance an audience and bring a tale to life. Tim gained much acclaim at The Young Storyteller of the Year competition in 2007, and was a British Award for Storytelling Excellence winner in 2012.

Bradford Friendship Choir is a joyful choir for those seeking sanctuary and their friends and allies, based here in the District.

This event is part of Tent of Hope – a day bringing together people of all faiths and none to reflect, connect, and celebrate Bradford’s rich diversity.
