January 2023: Tourism minister calls in to Bradford

Stuart Andrew, Minister for Sport, Tourism and Civil Society and Minister for Equalities visited Bradford this month to meet with some of the key team involved in developing the city’s UK City of Culture 2025 programme and to champion the economic benefits the title will bring.

The Conservative MP for nearby Pudsey, Horsforth & Aireborough met with local business leaders and members of the cultural community to find out more about their hopes and ambitions for 2025, and enjoyed a behind the scenes peek at building work underway at new live music venue Bradford Live. City Park is set to play a major role in the city’s cultural programme in 2025 and businesses at One City Park will be able to enjoy ‘front row’ seats for it all.
