Discover the hidden history of Wild Boar Street and Bradford’s lost Wapping district.
Join artist, Naseem Darbey, at two interactive Dig Discovery Days - free and open to everyone:
The Corn Dolly | Wednesday 28 October | 12 – 4pm |
Darley Street Market | Friday 30 October | 11am – 3pm |
In these exciting afternoons of exploration, you'll:
🐗 Join writer, storyteller and social historian Irene Lofthouse for interactive
storytelling about Bradford’s famous wild boar
Delve into real archaeological finds uncovered during a recent dig in the area
🎨 Take part in a family-friendly art activity
🦋 Experience Naseem’s interactive Mona and the Moths sculpture, where UV
lights and sensors reveal hidden patterns
As part of the event on 28 October at The Corn Dolly, there will also be a guided walk around Wapping with Irene Lofthouse connecting the archaeology to the wider story of the area.
The walk starts at 12pm and will last no more than one hour. Places are limited and booking is required, so please book your spot in advance - link in bio.
The Wild Boar Street project is led by artist Naseem Darbey, in partnership with Bradford Museums & Galleries and South Square Centre. It builds on Mona and the Moths, created for South Square’s first OUR TURN visual arts festival in 2025.
South Square is now developing OUR TURN 2027 (subject to funding) with plans for work created through Wild Boar Street to form a key part of the festival.
