Event Details

Discover the hidden history of Wild Boar Street and Bradford’s lost Wapping district
with artist Naseem Darbey.

Darley Street Market | Friday 30 October | 11am – 3pm | FREE

Wild Boar Street 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.

Join Naseem for an afternoon of exploration:

  • Delve into real archaeological finds uncovered during a recent dig in the area
  • Join writer, storyteller and social historian Irene Lofthouse for interactive storytelling about Bradford’s famous wild boar
  • 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

Free and open to everyone – all ages welcome. Have family photographs, memories
or stories connected to Wapping? Bring them along and share them with us!
