Growing local photographers since 1951

We are currently into our 2023/24 season and already we have had some great evenings and continue to flourish as a club.  We have had some great speakers on all sorts of subjects. Our syllabus team work hard to ensure our season provides something for everyone.


We're always looking for new members so for those who haven't been to any meetings yet or perhaps haven't been for a few years, please come along and see how things are done or how we might have changed. One thing that is the same - we're still very friendly.  We are just a group of keen amateur photographers trying to enhance their enjoyment of photography with a programme of presentations, competitions and practical evenings. It's about helping each other develop and learn.


We meet every Monday evening throughout the autumn, winter and into spring. Our members come from all around the Aire and Worth Valleys including: Bingley, Shipley, Saltaire, Baildon, Bradford, Keighley, Sutton, Oakworth, Haworth, Cullingworth, Wilsden to name but a few. 


Our membership ranges from the very experienced to the beginner; whatever your level of expertise, you'll hopefully find something of interest. You'll certainly find a very warm welcome.


We've joined the 21st Century now by having a real web presence. Check out our social media by using the social media links at the top or bottom of the page.

weekly meetings

Meetings are held, in person, every Monday from September to May. For those unable to attend in person, we stream live from the venue and also record, where permission given, to allow catch up at a later time.

continued support

Bingley Camera Club operates effectively 7 days a week with various social media outlets, allowing your questions to be answered when required. There is a huge amount of knowledge within the club, which is readily shared.

generating friendships

Many freindships have grown within the club. This has meant there being many trips organised outside of the syllabus. Maybe you are new to the area, love taking photos and want to join people with a similar passion.
