A vibrant and interactive space that will bring together our diverse communities to act as a kind of “human library” – this is your invitation to drop-in and take part in fun, creative experiences inspired by faith and belief. 

Activities are free to have a go at, and will all be delivered by groups, communities and organisations from here in the District.

Whether you have a faith tradition or are simply curious, this will be a welcoming space to get involved  in activities inspired by people’s faiths and beliefs.

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.
