Come and see what happens when you mix Bradford’s textile heritage with a vibrant creative community to produce a large-scale art installation, highlighting climate change trends in Yorkshire. Almost 3.5 million stitches have been knitted by volunteers into a 15 metre long warming stripe display that charts our changing temperature from the 1850s to present. This is a unique piece that inspires and empowers us all to take climate action.
There will be an official launch on Saturday 5th July. Please book your free place via https://bradfordcathedral.churchsuite.com/events/x20wgq1t
