Location
City Park
Local art collective Sand In Your Eye will transform City Park into a vibrant canvas with a giant ground mural bursting with colour. But that’s just the beginning.
Over the weekend, the people of Bradford are invited to roll up their sleeves, grab some chalk, and make their own mark—drawing inspiration from poetry, words, and one another.
Come be part of a living artwork that grows with every line and stroke. Whether you’re a scribbler, doodler, poet, or just curious—this is your invitation to colour your city.
