Trips

Trips are removed from this page once they have happened. There are usually one or two trips a month using public transport, announced in the newsletter a month or two before they happen. Trips involving hiring of a coach are planned about six months ahead. We are currently doing a series of visits to Nortthern towns, and some other venues.

Theatre visits are listed on the Theatre Visits group page.

Somaili Village Exhibition Cartwright Hall Wednesday 30 September

Join us to see the Somaili Village exhibition which revisits a key moment in Bradford's history: the 1904 Great Exhibition in Lister Park. While the exhibition celebrated local industry and innovation, it’s most popular and most profitable attraction was the Somaili Village where 57 men, women and children lived and worked for 6 months as part of a colonial display. We will also be able to look round the other exhibitions in the gallery. We will meet just inside the entrance to Cartwright Hall at 11.00 am. I will be travelling by bus from Bradford Interchange and wlll arrange a time for others travelling from there to meet me in the interchange if they wish. There will be an opportunity to have lunch together after the visit at the cafe in the gallery. Please contact Maureen Grace.
