A trio of performers

About

Exciting, bold, imaginative and of course, free. Join Bradford Festival for a world-class weekend of extraordinary performances and big ideas on the streets of the city.

Welcome to Bradford Festival, an outdoor art spectacular in the heart of Bradford. A free weekend of breathtaking and thought-provoking experiences to capture the imaginations of audiences young, old and everyone in-between. 

The festival brings together celebrated artists from across the UK and around the world. Nothing is behind closed doors; at Bradford Festival the streets are the stage, allowing you to wander and explore in a city where stories unfold in unexpected spaces. 

From roaming theatre to high wire-walking, immersive storytelling to a dancing sheep and scooter-riding fox: Bradford Festival will make you laugh, cry, dance and maybe even start a revolution.
