Across Bradford

The Big Thing

Immersive Arts

This event brought together artists, creatives, researchers, and technologists from across the UK and beyond who want to shape the future of immersive art.

The Big Thing is an annual gathering, where the immersive art community - at any stage in their journey - can come to connect, spark new ideas, and push the boundaries of their practice. In 2025, it came to Bradford.

The Big Thing in Bradford brought together artists, producers, technologists, researchers and the wider ecosystem of venues, distributors, curators and funders from the UK and beyond.

With hands-on workshops, inspiring keynotes, thought-provoking panel discussions, and much more.

Immersive Arts’ first annual event The Big Thing brings together artists, creatives, researchers, and technologists from across the UK and beyond who want to shape the future of immersive art to connect, get inspired and evolve their practice.
