What makes you feel welcome in a gallery or museum?
We’ve been asking this question as part of listening project for @bradford2025 exploring perceptions of Cartwright Hall.. what might support more people to Cross the Threshold next year? wearestreetspace.org/project…

What if public spaces were designed with toddlers in mind? We love this project from @street_space_ where simple, toddler-friendly spaces were created in Shipley - and brought joy and connection for grown-ups too: wearestreetspace.org/thinkin…

Great to breathe life into under-used space in Shipley Town Centre today at #toddlertown despite 🥶 families stayed to #play enjoying the chalk, slide & fairy doors. Simple but effective. So many connecting convos between carers & older people that don’t happen in playgrounds

Shipley Toddler Town with @street_space_ today til 3pm outside Shipley Library.
We loved the wind chimes, chalking + fairy door.
Wouldn't it be exciting if the new Shipley Market Square redevelopment used play + fun to create a welcoming space + attract families into the centre?
Just 2 more sleeps until pop up #toddlertown in Shipley.. we’re temporarily reimagining public space to centre play & curiosity at approx 95cm & gathering feedback on impact of creating a sense of permission to play! @ChildFriendlyBD @ShipleyTC @bradfordlibs247 @15minuteshipley – at Bradford, England

The @bradperegrines Bradford Peregrine Trail cycle route now incorporates the @street_space_ Frizinghall Green Mile.
Why not give it a whirl this weekend?

Just out for a recreational spin on my bike to check out @street_space_ Frizinghall Green Mile as an active travel version of @bradperegrines Bradford Peregrine Trail. The footpath is a welcome opportunity to walk the bike on the climb from the Canal Road Greenway to Heaton.
