The Bradford Progress reaches Bradford Industrial Museum for a powerful celebration of singing, storytelling and people power.

Every musical moment on The Bradford Progress is free with no booking required – feel free to drop in to the Museum at any time. Please note, capacity is limited so at busy times you may need to wait.
