The first events in the programme for Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture were announced today. Taking place across the district throughout 2025, the programme will celebrate contemporary culture in all forms and showcase the rich history and heritage of the area. .
As well as celebrating a host of Bradford-born artists, writers, musicians, performers and local cultural organisations, the year-long programme also welcomes national and international partners to this extraordinary year. Bradford residents will be involved in many of the performances and activities, telling stories about their city and district. Many elements of the programme will be free.
Lisa Nandy, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport said: "Next year's UK City of Culture programme promises some fantastic experiences throughout the year, enabling Bradford to tell its incredible story and show off its rich local heritage to the world.
