Bradford Live has announced that it will be opening its doors for its launch season in autumn 2024.
The former Odeon building and 1930s ballroom has been closed for over two decades and is set to be transformed into a 3,800-capacity venue.
Lee Craven of Bradford Live said: ‘Our vision is to create a cultural hub for the region that will celebrate the city and venue’s heritage, whilst ensuring world-class event spaces for generations to come. It's been a long journey, but the launch season is now in sight!’
Cllr Alex Ross-Shaw, portfolio holder for Regeneration, Planning & Transport at Bradford Council said: ‘This is another important milestone for this amazing project that will help transform Bradford for many years to come.
‘There’s been so much hard work to get to this point and knowing the launch season is moving ahead really brings home how exciting Bradford will be when we are UK City of Culture in 2025.’
