Are you part of Bradford's music community? We want to hear from you.
Following our series of engagement sessions across the district we’re now seeking your views in our engagement survey.
This is 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 we want to hear from
We want to hear from anyone involved in Bradford’s music ecology, including:
- Musicians and performers
- Music professionals and promoters
- Music educators

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.
