The Brick Box Rooms

This is a shout out for the People's Property Portfolio (PPP) Community Share Offer 👇 PPP grew out of the hard work and creative visions of The Brick Box so felt like a good thing to share here 🥰

PPP believes that community ownership is a way to build long term resilience in Bradford, ensuring that our heritage buildings and vital cultural and social spaces are owned for the benefit of people - not for absent landlords to profit from.

Community Shares are a way that you can invest to help make this vision a reality.

We've had amazing support so far but there's still a way to go so we’re extending our share offer campaign until Friday 22nd May, giving us another month to hit our target.

You can invest anything, from £50 to £9000 - all of which can be paid in instalments and, in return, your investment will create lasting change beyond any single building. Share investments also help lay the foundations for a community-owned portfolio of buildings that will serve local people and protect our historic buildings for future generations. ✨⚡️✨

Into it? Wanna get involved? Here's how:

1. Invest today!
2. Share this post!
3. Tell your friends!

Dear Friends,

Rosie here! I want to give you an update on The Brick Box.

Since our spectacular 'Mills are Alive' in 2022, both myself and the whole team at BB have been exploring new creative avenues for our work as artists and producers.

This is taking us all in exciting new directions, and so we have decided to close the doors of The Brick Box to make space for new projects and adventures.

We are hugely proud of our journey, with nearly 14 years of work as a Community Interest Company and international arts organisation working with brilliant people in special places.

It’s been amazing to be part of Bradford’s cultural scene leading up to winning UK City of Culture 2025 and we’ll continue to be around, making art and doing creative things in the district we are proud to call home.

We’d like to thank everyone who collaborated with us, came to our events, and funded and supported our journey. The volunteers, community groups, artists, grafters, team members old and new - we salute you and thank you so much for sharing your time and energy.

Here’s to art, love, magic and new chapters!

We’ve teamed up with photographer Tim Smith to capture some of the places in Bradford that we think could do with a bit of a creativity thrown at them. We’d love you to download a picture from lower down on this webpage and artistically and fantastically do it up. From a fairy-tale story at Come...

"I have reimagined this building as a Bradford Community Print Space - an open access, fully accessible and spacious venue welcoming all the people of Bradford in to tell their stories through print.

"People could come in and could learn how to make zines, pamphlets, books, posters and more.

"These beautiful things would be distributed throughout our city’s venues, community spaces and public spaces local venues, telling our uniquely Bradford stories in our own way and on our own terms."
