A NEW 10 year cultural strategy for the Bradford District will begin with a number of events this Summer. Yesterday saw the launch of Culture Is Our Plan - a strategy to get more people involved in cultural activities and give Bradford more recognition on the national, and international, stage. And the authors of the new strategy hope that the strategy will provide the push to help Bradford become City of Culture for 2025. The launch took place at South Square in Thornton, one of the District s many cultural organisations. Kick-starting the decade long strategy will be Summer Unlocked - a series of events across the District that will re-introduce arts and culture after over a year of lockdown restrictions.
