Join us for spectacular safari in the heart of Bradford – a magical street performance led by seven towering red giraffes…
We’re stopping the Bradford traffic for one day only to make way for some very special guests. Seven larger-than-life scarlet giraffes are travelling all the way from France to lead a free performance in our city centre – and they’d love you to come and say hello.
And that’s not all! Our long-necked friends will be joined on their wondrous walkabout by bumbling keepers, performers, musicians – and even an opera singer parading high above the streets.
The safari starts at the junction of Bank Street and Kirkgate, then moves through the city centre to a big finale in City Park.
Created by legendary French street theatre company Compagnie OFF, Les Girafes are visiting as part of our build-up to Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture. Everyone’s welcome at this family-friendly event – and admission is completely free.
