Lanterns outside Cartwright Hall

About

The University of Bradford, Cecil Green Arts and Bradford death cafes are coming together to create 'Festivals of the Dead'. The project sees communities across Bradford making lanterns and having conversations to ultimately celebrate life at our iconic parade in Lister Park.
This year, the parade will be accompanied by live music from the 'Peace Artistes', 'Drum Machine' and 'Banda da Rua'. There will also be performances in the front of Cartwright Hall as people gather from 4.30pm.
The parade will set off at 5.30pm.
Cartwright Hall galleries will open late and we will have a room inside Cartwright Hall for anyone wishing to experience the parade in a quieter way.
