City of Culture judges visit Bradford
Last week, we welcomed the UK City of Culture special advisory panel to Bradford.
The panel of judges, led by Sir Phil Redmond, took a guided tour of the district – meeting artists, young people, businesses and community leaders to hear why we think Bradford should be UK City of Culture 2025.
