Bradford Live is a 1920s building that has recently undergone a huge renovation. We have a stunning 3000+ auditorium, as well as a ballroom, an underground bar, and lots of other bar areas, event spaces, and interesting corridors and staircases...

With an art deco style in some areas and theatre-inspired aesthetics in others, the venue is a truly unique space. We can host all sorts of events, and due to the multiple rooms, these can be of any size. The venue has a large, fenced-off car park with a large loading bay and external power.

Bradford Live is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.
