Bradford 2025 and the National Literacy Trust in Bradford are going on tour this year – and we want Bowling to Share Your Story!

The Share Your Story campaign is bringing fun, family activities to stops around Bowling and it's all on board the iconic Bradford Stories Bus.

On board at the Beacon

Event details

When: Saturday 14 June, 10am - 4pm

Where: The Beacon, Bowling Park

Join us on board the Bradford Stories Bus, a classic American school bus transformed into an inspiring space for reading, writing and storytelling. The event is free to join and you don't need to book!

On Board at The Beacon features a full day of story workshops and activities for children aged 5–11. Check out the range of workshops on offer throughout the day below
