The twice-yearly BD is LIT returns to the city this weekend, with the festival taking place tonight and tomorrow . For this year’s event, Bradford Council, Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture, The Leap and Science and Media Museum have come together to commission a range of local and national artists to create stunning installations, which light up several buildings across the city.
It’s such a good alternative to Bonfire Night and with its multi-sensory offering – it is an opportunity to bring people together across the district, celebrate our spaces and shine a light on some of our unexpected places.” This year’s BD:is LIT programme is the first since Bradford won UK City of Culture 2025, with the Bradford 2025 team collaborating on the event.
