Get up close with artworks from the hit BBC One series at this exhibition in Loading Bay, our new pop-up venue in Bradford.

Extraordinary Portraits with Bill Bailey invites artists to create breathtaking portraits of people with incredible personal stories, creating a powerful picture of modern Britain. For the first time in Bradford, we’re delighted to be presenting an exhibition of portraits from series four of the BBC One show (available now on BBC iPlayer) – and admission is free. Find out more about the programme on the BBC website.

Presented in partnership with the BBC and Chatterbox Media, Extraordinary Portraits with Bill Bailey is the opening event for Loading Bay, our new venue in the heart of Bradford. We’re transforming an old storage depot into a buzzing culture hub for Bradford 2025, with exhibitions, gigs, theatre and much more taking place here during the year. See you there.
