Bradford 2025 is the UK City of Culture for 2025, as announced on BBC's The One Show. This prestigious title, awarded every four years by the Government, has proven to have a transformative impact on previous host cities, attracting millions of pounds of investment and serving as a catalyst for creative place-making and culture-led regeneration. With a history of fierce independence and progressive social reform, Bradford is uniquely positioned to deliver an extraordinary year of culture.

The district is set to host over 1,000 new performances, events, major arts festivals, and national and international collaborations. As the UK's youngest city, with nearly a quarter of the population under 16, Bradford's young people will play a vital role in shaping a cultural celebration that reflects the spirit of the city. Supported by Bradford Metropolitan District Council, the University of Bradford, and businesses across the district, Bradford 2025 aims to showcase the city's spectacular cultural heritage and establish it as a hub for creativity and innovation.

Join us on this exciting journey as we create a year of culture that is distinctly Bradford
