The Beacon

The Big Beacon Family Welcome

You enjoyed an afternoon of family fun.

This was a series of family fun days that took place at each of The Beacon locations.

In Wibsey, Bowling, Cliffe Castle and Lister Parks, we welcomed children, young people, their parents and carers for a free, drop in afternoon of family-friendly workshops, activities and performances.

Including everything from climbing walls to free ice cream to rugby taster sessions to live music, there was truly something everyone to enjoy. It was also a chance for local communities to find out more about Bradford 2025 and explore The Beacon in their local park.
