Following on from the amazing results and success of the Lady Mayoress’ Festival of Talent in 2015, Lord Mayor’s Festival of Talent 2016, the City of Bradford Festival of Talent 2017, the City of Bradford Festival of Talent 2018, the City of Bradford Festival of Talent 2019 and the City of Bradford Festival of Talent 2024
We are organising our seventh festival for 2025...
We are inviting all Primary and Secondary Schools in the Bradford Metropolitan District to take part in the City of Bradford Festival of Talent 2025.
This has grown in popularity and excellence in the seven years since it was created in 2014, by Mrs Elizabeth M Sharp who became the Lady Mayoress of Bradford.
It is our dream and ambition to create and provide a platform where every girl and boy, no matter how young, can take to the stage and experience the magic of performance, whatever the genre.
The Festival of Talent is free to enter and all acts are welcome, whether vocal, theatrical, choral or instrumental, in solos, duos, groups, bands or choirs. We want them all. We ask only that the performances have been originated by the performers themselves and are not of the teachers’ design. We do welcome teachers’ participation but only in conducting and accompaniment roles, or a single band member instrumentalist.
Each school is allowed to submit a maximum of four acts and the competition will be held in 2025.
Starting at 6:30pm till 9pm and dates to be confirmed in due course.
Venue to be advised.
Everyone who performs will receive the City of Bradford Festival of Talent Medal and certificate, each finalist will receive a certificate and the two winners, (one in each age group), will receive a trophy to keep outright, as will both runners-up.
The winners will be invited to bring their parents and teachers to City Hall for tea with the Lord Mayor, and there will be opportunities for further public performances in association with the Bradford Music and Arts Service and other agencies.
You can download the registration and entry form for 2025, below.

We want to involve the entire Bradford Community in these competitions and make them known to every girl and boy who cherishes secret yearnings to stand in front of audiences and entertain them, but who might otherwise never get the opportunity.
