The Bradford Selection

About our events

Food-as-art pioneers Edible Archives are turning Bradford stories into biscuits, as part of Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture.

Edible Archives have been touring Bradford, collecting stories, histories and recipes from people across the district. The result is The Bradford Selection: a series of biscuits inspired by different Bradford communities and cultures, from local growing groups and the Sikh community to Bradford’s radical political history.

The biscuits will be presented in a limited-edition collectible tin with a bespoke zine and audio experience featuring interviews and articles – taking inspiration from the Library’s collections.

The Bradford Selection will be available in selected stores across Bradford District from June 2025.
