Bradford City of Culture 2025 launch set to go ahead despite ice

Organisers are “pulling out all the stops” to ensure the first event of Bradford City of Culture 2025 goes ahead despite predictions that temperatures could drop to -4C.

The open-air event, Rise, which has been created by award-winning director Kirsty Housley and Bradford-born magician Steven Frayne – formerly known as Dynamo, is set to take place on Friday evening.

But with snowy and icy conditions, extra efforts are being made to keep areas clear and safe to ensure the show’s cast of 200 can kickstart the celebrations as planned.

Ben Pugh, director of production for the event, said doors would open early, with hot food and drinks available to help people warm up before the show.
