River of Light
In partnership with Bradford Council, we presented two evenings of beautiful light installations and activities on Ivegate in the centre of Bradford.
This ancient street was lit with colour and movement from 6pm on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th of October 2017. After 10pm, the party continued indoors with tunes, drinks and dancing at the launch of our new city centre live venue, The Brick Box Rooms.
