Rombald’s Rocks – Keighley Sculpture Trail

Coming to town this May is the all new Keighley Sculpture Trail that takes it’s inspiration from local legend, Rombald the Giant.

The brainchild of local artist, Leonie Briggs, this project is designed to demonstrate the creativity of the local community, brings something positive to the town and highlights the area’s rich folklore.

Rombald’s Rocks will be unveiled on the launch day of Saturday 24th May 2025 with unique sculptures appearing around Keighley town centre.

We will also be running a series of workshops on the run up to the launch weekend, getting the local community involved and adding their own unique pieces of artwork to the Keighley Sculpture Trail.
