Who are Keighley Creative?
Keighley Creative is an arts charity operating in the heart of Keighley co-designing and delivering exciting projects and fun activities with local artists, communities, organisations and businesses.
What are Rombald’s Rocks?
Rombald’s Rocks is Keighley’s first sculpture trail, inspired by the local legend of Rombald the Giant.
Mr and Mrs Rombald have been throwing rocks again and one of them has shattered into 10 small pieces. The bits of rock have sprouted legs and arms and have run away to Keighley to embark on their own adventures.
Keighley based artist, illustrator and sculptor, Leonie Briggs, is fabricating ten, approximately one-foot high sculptures of Rombald’s Rocks for local community groups and artists to design and decorate. In May 2025, the rocks will arrive in Keighley town centre for the launch of Rombald’s Rocks, Keighley Sculpture Trail for local communities and visitors to discover!
