Welcome... Cassie Bradley

The 2020 Young Creative Awards benefited from the support of rising star Cassie Bradley, presenter of the YCA show on Notts TV.

Born and raised in Nottingham and Mansfield, Cassie is a British actress well known for her work with Sam Mendes and Marianne Elliott at The National Theatre and her screen appearances on BBC, Channel 5 and ITV, including the role of Natalie Watkins in Coronation Street.

As part of our Young Creatives at Home programme during lockdown, Cassie delivered two special webinars, drawing on her extensive experience to provide practical hints and tips for budding actors. These webinars are still available to view at our website:

I’m so proud to be involved with this year’s Young Creative Awards celebrating the wealth of talent that Nottingham has to offer. It’s such an incredible opportunity for young people to demonstrate their skills, build confidence and gain new experiences and contacts.

For me, the years I spent with Nottingham Youth Theatre were fundamental in my journey as an actor. The Young Creative Awards is a similarly great opportunity for young artists, designers, musicians, dancers, film-makers and writers to kickstart their own creative careers.

Young Creatives Nottingham are inspiring, supporting and empowering a generation of young people in Nottingham and it's an absolute pleasure to be involved with this incredible charity.
