The Bradford Selection
Take a bite out of Bradford with our magnificent biscuits.
In stores across Bradford
Edible Archives are turning Bradford stories into biscuits – and from 27 June, you can take a bite.
No food is more central to UK culture than the humble biscuit, so we’ve cooked up our very own selection – made right here in Bradford especially for you.
Edible Archives, Bradford-based food artists, have been touring Bradford and collecting stories, histories and recipes from people across the district. The result is The Bradford Selection: a limited-edition tin of biscuits inspired by Bradford communities and cultures, and available in selected stores around Bradford from Friday 27 June.
The biscuits include:
- 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 are 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 collections. You’ll also be able to enjoy a guided audio experience while tucking in, with recordings of the artists, experts and others.
The Bradford Selection will be available from Friday 27 June 2025 in selected stores across Bradford District – scroll down for a full list of stockists. Kettle on!
