For Adults
Adult’s Programme, Teachers and Business Events
We’re currently working on our adult’s programme for this year’s Festival with our theme ‘Body of Work’.
It’s all about body modification in different cultures, geographical areas, in popular culture and it’s use throughout the ages.
With special exhibitions, live tattooing and piercing and much much more it’s going to be an informative and sometimes squeamish journey
around the canvass of the human body.
We’ll be updating the pages frequently so keep checking back for details for all of the adult’s programme events.
We will also be hosting events for teachers and Bradford Businesses. To find out more about these keep checking the website.
In the meantime if you have any questions please call 0845 6522406 or email holly@spaceconnections.net
