Daniel Bates, executive director of Bradford City of Culture 2025, said: “We have been working with the team at Bradford Playhouse for the last 12 months on a scheme to improve access to the Playhouse, and we are thrilled that they have now gained planning permission for the works.
“We are now working hard with the Playhouse to secure the funding to make the improvements, so the Playhouse will be accessible in 2025 – another great City of Culture legacy.”
Megan Wilson, director of the Bradford Playhouse, said: “We want to ensure that every member of our community can experience the joy of live theatre.
“This project is about breaking down barriers and making the arts accessible to everyone.”
