About

Bradford BID invites families to enjoy a magical city‑centre adventure this Easter with Pirates, Princesses and Peter Pan. The day features live performances, storytelling, meet‑and‑greets and interactive games across the city centre. Children are encouraged to dress as their favourite pirate, princess or Neverland character.

A highlight of the event is a treasure hunt through local businesses. Families can collect an adventure map from the events gazebo, follow the trail and return their completed map for a reward and entry into a prize draw for a £100 Bradford Gift Card.

Visitors will also spot ten shop windows decorated with professional Easter‑themed artwork, adding colour and creativity to the city during the school holidays.
