Les Girafes – Compagnie OFF

Bradford city centre (route TBA)
Saturday 24 August 2024, 4–5pm
Free – no booking required

Join us for a spectacular safari in the heart of Bradford – a magical street parade led by seven towering red giraffes… 

For one day only, we’re stopping the Bradford traffic 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 parade through 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. 

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.
