Are you part of Bradford's music community? We want to hear from you.
We are running a series of free engagement sessions across the district as part of the Bradford District Music Strategy – Bradford’s first ever shared, sector-owned plan for grassroots music.
These sessions are your chance to tell us what music in Bradford needs to thrive: what’s working, what’s missing, and what the future should look like. The strategy will be co-created by the people who live and breathe Bradford’s music scene: musicians, promoters, venues, educators, volunteers, community groups, and music lovers!
Whether you perform, host, teach, organise, volunteer or simply care about music in Bradford, your voice belongs in this conversation.
Who this workshop is for
These sessions are open to anyone involved in Bradford’s music ecology, including:
- Musicians and performers
- Music professionals and promoters
- Music educators
- Volunteers
- Community music groups and organisations
We’re keen to hear from people working across all genres, disciplines, roles, and parts of the district.

About the Bradford District Music Strategy
The Bradford District Music Strategy is facilitated by Bradford Producing Hub, funded by Arts Council England’s Supporting Grassroots Music fund. It will set out a clear, actionable roadmap for a connected and sustainable music ecosystem across the district, culminating in a public launch in September 2026.
