Free Family fun is set to sweep through the Bradford district this August with live theatre, craft sessions, storytelling and music as part of Literature Unlocked, hosted by Bradford Literature Festival.

The four family fun days, which usually run in City Park but will this year happen across the district, take place each weekend from August 15 to September 4. They are held in partnership with Bradford Council’s Summer Unlocked programme.

Award winning Leeds theatre company Wrongsemble will bring their magical musical pop-up adventure ‘The Magician’s Monster’ to Bradford’s Bowling Park and Peel Park, featuring all the fun and magic of the circus. They will also bring a modern twist to family favourite Peter Pan in ‘Peter Pan Flies Again’ – think circus ruffs combined with Doc Martens – which will be heading to Lister Park and Keighley Victoria Park. Both productions feature well-known songs to sing along to and will last 25 - 35 minutes, followed by a 15-minute interactive workshop on stage with the cast.There will be dance and music performances from local community groups and workshops for children.
