Share Your Story: Bradford Stories Bus in Bowling
National Literacy Trust in Bradford
We invited children and young people to share their stories aboard a classic American school bus.
Bradford 2025 and the National Literacy Trust in Bradford went on tour during 2025 – and we started with a story-sharing journey in Bowling aboard a very special bus.
The Bradford Stories Bus was 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 were books to read, activities to do and fun to have, all aimed at children and young people aged 5-11. Best of all, you didn’t need a ticket to ride this bus: you could hop on any time, and it was all free.
