Bradford Textile Society – Britain’s Premier Textile Society since 1893

Welcome to Britain’s Premier Textile Society.

Established in 1893, the Bradford Textile Society is the oldest textile society in Britain, if not in the world. Despite all the changes which have taken place in the textile industry since its formation, the Society continues to thrive. Its monthly programme of meetings from October to April provides an opportunity for everyone with an interest in textiles to meet and discuss a range of textile-related topics with an invited speaker.

We are delighted to announce that The Bradford Textile Society’s annual dinner will be held on Friday 21st November 2025. Click on above image to download details.
