A Bradford 2025 Community Award project.

About the project

Woven Lives is a beautiful and powerful artwork which talks of the lives and stories of the people of Bradford. The woven coloured glass and symbols, lit from within, show how light and dark times are all part of the story of community and connection.

You can see Woven Lives at Bradford Cathedral – a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. Set in tranquil gardens, the Cathedral is Bradford’s most ancient place of worship, alive with peace, prayer, and a sense of story from its 13 centuries at the heart of the City.

Full access information is available via the Bradford Cathedral website.
