Share Your Story: Bradford Stories Bus at Cliffe Castle Park
National Literacy Trust in Bradford
We’re inviting children and young people to share their stories aboard a classic American school bus.
Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult
Bradford 2025 and the National Literacy Trust in Bradford are going on tour this year – and we’re brining our story-sharing journey at Cliffe Castle Park aboard a very special bus.
The Bradford Stories Bus is a wonderland of storytelling magic – a classic American school bus transformed by the National Literacy Trust in Bradford into an inspiring space for reading, writing and talking about stories. There’ll be books to read, activities to do and fun to have, all aimed at children and young people aged 5-11. Best of all, you don’t need a ticket to ride this bus: you can hop on any time, and it’s all free.
Where to catch the bus?
Times to be announced.
