We meet on the 3rd Saturday of each month at 11 a.m. at Bradford Industrial Museum on the third floor, only accessable by lift.
For each meeting attended at Bradford Industrial Museum £3 is payable on the door for members. For non-members it is £5, however, if you join within the month of your first meeting you get a discount on the membership fee. This includes tea or coffee. There may also be a raffle and a sales table.
Our workshops are proving very popular so for this reason it is necessary to book your place by completing the list available at prior Guild meetings.
Workshops are for Guild members. For those not able to attend the prior meeting, a place can be booked by emailing bradfordguild@gmail.com
Dates for events some months away may be subject to change.
