Bradford Family Film Festival 2019
Welcome
Bradford Family Film Festival 2019 is extra special as this year we are celebrating our tenth anniversary as a UNESCO City of Film. There’s screenings, events and activities designed for all the family to enjoy together throughout August. We’re delighted that Living Well and Bradford BID are this year’s City Park supporters. The fitness team from Living Well will be down in City Park every Wednesday inviting everyone to join in their exciting street dance routine before settling down for the outdoor screening. So join us at the Big Screen, The Light Cinema, the IMAX and Picturehouse at National Science and Media Museum; Oastler Market and community cinemas across the District for a summer of family film fun.
To help reduce the amount of single use plastic at the festival this year, we have partnered with Bradford BID to give away a limited number of purple bottles to children attending our City Park events. Bottles will come with all the details about the Refill App, will be given out before the Big Screen films which run every Wednesday in August as part of the Festival in City Park.
