The Bradford Selection
Take a bite out of Bradford with our magnificent biscuits.
Edible Archives turned Bradford stories into biscuits with a limited edition biscuit tin.
No food is more central to UK culture than the humble biscuit, so we cooked up our very own selection – made right here in Bradford especially for you.
Edible Archives, Bradford-based food artists, toured Bradford collecting stories, histories and recipes from people across the district, resulting in The Bradford Selection: a limited-edition tin of biscuits inspired by Bradford communities and cultures.
The Bradford Selection biscuits are no longer on sale.
While stocks lasted, the biscuits included:
- The Welcome, inspired by people from around the world who have settled in Bradford.
- Richard Dunn-Ker, a homage to the legendary heavyweight champion and the iconic Sports Centre named in his honour.
- ’Til the Revolution, created with the 1 in 12 Library Collective and inspired by Bradford’s social history and future.
- Apple Day Forever, a tribute to the Bowling Park Community Orchard.
- Gur in a Suitcase, a celebration of Bradford’s Sikh-Punjabi diaspora inspired by the South Asian treat barfi.
The biscuits were presented in a limited-edition collectible tin with a selection of artworks and inserts, from essays on the history of biscuits to special stories and illustrations – taking inspiration from the British Library’s collection. You can enjoy a guided audio experience, with recordings of the artists, experts and others.
The Bradford Selection was limited edition and is no longer available.
