Loading Bay

Re:Born

This was a one-time event that celebrated the coming of age.

The Bradford 2025 Young Creatives created a special event that celebrated endings and new beginnings - inspired by the landmark study Born in Bradford.

Growing up can feel like the end of the world, but the Young Creatives felt like it’s the start of the beginning…

Re:Born was an evening of performances and activities about growing up in 2025. It was created by Bradford 2025’s Young Creatives, a group of dynamic and inspiring young people from Bradford aged 18–24.

What was the Re:Born mission? It was to make Loading Bay the Young Creatives’ Bunker and ensure that their memories of the past and present can survive into the future. The night included performances, activities, workshops and more.

Attendees discovered that what feels like the end is really just the start of something new.
