A creative
home for all
A festival for the community, made with the community
Our neighbourhood. Protest through art. Creative wellbeing: The three themes at the heart of this year’s Intercultured Festival. Whether you’re into music, dance, spoken word, visual art, writing, digital art or cookery, the Intercultured Festival has something for you.
Join us in our third year as we celebrate the multilayers of cultures and communities that make up our incredible city, hear and learn from global majority voices, and celebrate Bradford as a creative home for all.
