Bradford 2025 has been nothing short of extraordinary. 💥 We spoke to bradford_2025’s Executive Director, Dan Bates, about their journey - from starting with a blank slate in 2023 to building a team of more than 130 delivering hundreds of events across the district. 💥 From an opening event that brought 20,000 people to the city centre, to a reimagined production of The Railway Children, and the Turner Prize 2025 exhibition - there have been many unforgettable moments. 💥 Funding from The National Lottery has helped bring this year of culture and creativity to life across Bradford.
