FAMILY CALL OUT

Come play and become part of a Bradford 2025 play installation! 

 

The Herd Theatre and Bradford 2025 are bringing The Herd’s play installation, REPLAY to Bradford this Autumn.  This interactive play experience is for children aged 0-11 and their families, and is made entirely out of recycled and reused materials.

 

We’re looking for up to 10 families to join us for a special play session, where families will get to do some awesome, creative play, be photographed and take part in some voice recordings - all of which will become an integral part of the installation that will be opening in Bradford in October. 

 

We understand that families come in all shapes and sizes and use the word to describe children 0 - 11 years and their responsible grown-up/s.

 

DATE Sunday 7th September 2025

TIME 10.30am - 1pm

LOCATION Bradford Area - Location TBC!

TRAVEL All families attending will receive a free return bus ticket to the event.
