It will be temporary home-from-home for everyone who uses it, with a programme of events that really reflects the brilliant communities of Bradford District. Join us in The Beacon!
Where and when can we find The Beacon?
The Beacon is coming to Wibsey Park from 1 – 31 August 2026.
The Beacon will be open from Wednesday to Sunday every week in August 2026 and will host different events each day.
What can we do at The Beacon?
Almost anything! The Beacon is a versatile space, designed to accommodate a huge variety of events. Think music, comedy, dance, theatre, clubs, classes, family activities, neighbourhood get-togethers and lots more… you name it, let’s do it!
What facilities does The Beacon have?
There’ll be a stage, of course, with a sound system, microphones and lighting. There’ll be chairs and tables, which we can arrange in a variety of different configurations to suit your event. We might also be able to help with friendly volunteers to help welcome people to your event and show people to their seats.
How can we apply to stage an event?
Please complete our Event Proposal Form in as much detail as possible – it will help us to understand what you’d like to do and how we can help you bring your ideas to life.
We understand events will be at varying stages of development. However, please complete the form and return it as soon as you can. The earlier we receive this, the more we will be able to accommodate and support you.
We are expecting to receive plenty of event proposals – and we anticipate some days (eg. weekends) might be in high demand. If you think your event could happen at a different time (eg. mid week) please let us know this in your proposal.
We’ll review all the event proposals and will get in touch with every applicant within 3–4 weeks. We’ll then work with all successful applicants on the specifics of each event, such as the name, date, time and technical requirements.
