Steven Frayne: Back Home and Magical

Steven Frayne returns to his home city of Bradford for a special UK City of Culture residency.

Steven Frayne returns to his home city of Bradford for a special UK City of Culture residency at intimate pop-up venue Loading Bay – offering a unique showcase of magic from across his incredible career to date.

Best known for his headline grabbing stunts, boundary breaking cinematic TV specials and awe-inspiring arena shows across the world, Steven Frayne’s Back Home and Magical is an opportunity to experience the power and wonder of Steven’s magic up close with nothing to hide.

It’s been incredible to be a part of this year’s UK City of Culture, celebrating my home city and sharing in the joy with my friends and family. After performing to around 20,000 people in city park for the opening show back in January, I'm super excited to be doing something on a smaller scale and embracing the magic that is within the community.”
