Coming to Keighley this May is Rombald’s Rocks; a sculpture trail brought to you by Leonie Briggs and Keighley Creative that takes inspiration from local legend and creator of Ilkley’s Cow and Calf Rocks, 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.
See the unique sculptures decorated by local artists and community groups. You’ll find Rombald’s Rocks all around town, just grab a free trail map or download it from here to discover them.
The sculpture trail is running until 29th June 2025. Most of the Rombald’s Rocks are situated in display windows so are still visible out of hours.
Also don’t miss out on seeing the “The Making of Rombald’s Rocks” exhibition at Keighley Creative on Cooke Lane near Subway. Discover how Rombald’s Rocks came to be, who was involved and all the amazing creativity that has gone into creating Keighley central’s first sculpture trail.
The exhibition is open:
- Mondays 10am-12:30pm,
- Wednesdays 1pm-4pm and
- Saturdays 11am-3pm until 29th June.
