Join the Bradford 2025 Young Creatives for a special event to celebrate endings and new beginnings - inspired by the landmark study Born in Bradford.

Growing up can feel like the end of the world, but we’re here to tell you that it’s just the beginning…

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

The Re:Born mission? To make it to the Young Creatives’ Bunker – aka Loading Bay, Bradford 2025’s pop-up city centre venue – and ensure that our memories of the past and present can survive into the future. You’ll need brains and bravery, but there’ll also be time for some fun and dancing along the way – plus performances, activities, workshops and more.

So even if growing older feels like the end of the world, let’s celebrate regardless – and who knows? Maybe you’ll discover that what feels like the end is really just the start of something new.

Born in Bradford

Re:Born is inspired by Born in Bradford, an internationally recognised research programme that aims to find out what keeps families healthy and happy by tracking the lives of over 60,000 Bradfordians. Find out more at Born in Bradford.
