A series of events will be taking place throughout June to celebrate the heritage and cultural contributions of Gypsy, Roma and travellers.
For 2023, the theme of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month is 'Weaving Journeys: A celebration of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller lives, histories and cultures'.
The month not only hopes to mark the communities' achievements but challenge the prejudice and inequalities they face.
City Hall in Bradford will light up in yellow hues on June 30.
There will be a number of events as part of Bradford Literature Festival (BLF) this year.
