"Kirkstall Abbey has a wooly great summer of sheep themed activities in the abbey!. Cistercians loved their sheep and they Kirkstall Abbey will celebrate that fact with a baa-tastic trail. Pick up or download a trail to find the whole flock and discover the different types of sheep that the UK call home."
"Leeds' most impressive medieval structure is beautiful Kirkstall Abbey, founded in 1152 by Cistercian monks from Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire. These days the city makes good use of it as an atmospheric..."
"The plant-covered roof terrace at East 59th is blessed with incredible south-facing views that look out over the city’s skyline, but don’t worry about moving inside when the temperature drops – they have heat lamps and blankets to keep you warm until closing time. It’s known for its extensive cocktail menu, so get ready for classic concoctions and experimental creations."
"Celebrating the best of American dining, this New York themed bar and grill provides a stylish, contemporary space to tuck in to some delicious dishes, and if the weather is permitting, the Manhattan-style rooftop bar is a great spot to enjoy a cocktail or two. Visit: Victoria Gate, Eastgate, LS2 7AU - east59th.co.uk"
"When the weekend rolls around, East 59th becomes inundated with daytime revellers getting their fix of free-flowing fizz and brekkie dishes. But it's not just the bottomless brunch that attracts the masses. The rooftop gem also touts citywide vistas that are sure to wow."
"With breathtaking views of York, Clifford’s tower is an important stop off for anyone new to the city. Originally part of York Castle, the tower was built by William the Conqueror and has been used as both a prison and a royal mint."
"To see a fantastic panorama of York and take some great photos, head to the Clifford’s Tower. The entry price is a bit high for what the place has to order. However, it’s excellent for photos that you’re going to take there."

"You can do brunch every day until 4pm at any of Manahatta’s three Leeds bars. Their menu is small but perfectly formed – you can have a traditional full English or go for something a little bit different, like their High Line, which sees a trio of pancakes topped with fried chicken, bacon and maple syrup. On the weekend, you can go bottomless between 11am and 3pm – enjoy unlimited prosecco, Aperol Spritz, Bloody Marys or Coors for £25.95."
"Expect to choose from a variety of delicious brunch dishes, and in terms of drinks, your options to choose from are the classic prosecco, Bloody Mary, Aperol Spritz or pints of Coors. Bottomless brunch runs until 4 pm, but fear not, because after 4 pm the bottomless party menu kicks in. If you choose the bottomless party option, you’ll be paying a little more at £30.95pp."
"Manahatta do their pancakes a little bit differently, so if you want to try something new this is the place to go. If you like them sweet, you can top yours with a mix of Nutella, toasted hazelnuts and cream. But they do savoury pancakes too – the High Line gets you three buttermilk pancakes with fried chicken, bacon and maple syrup."
"For the best part of two decades, the first word in house, techno and progressive dance music in Leeds has been Mint, and Mint Warehouse lives up to the name. It maintains the good work of the now-departed Mint Club, evolving the brand into a huge space with a suspended Funktion-One sound system and a terrace to make the most of any good weather that might come our way. By welcoming the likes of Seth Troxler, Jackmaster and Eats Everything in the past few years, it’s safe to say it’s one of the best clubs to go to in Leeds."
"Following the Covid-19 outbreak, we have redefined our dining options. Tables and chairs in communal areas have been removed to allow for the required guideline distance between each party. Table sizes will be limited to parties of six."
"10/02/2021: I was served by a young lady who is a new member of staff. Unlike some of the other existing staff she was very helpful and polite. I hope that her boss appreciates what a difference people like her make to the business."
"You may not suspect it from the outside, but North Street's BrewDog is one of Leeds' best cool and quirky bars. The dons of craft beer have a massive 36 draft lines for all your drinking needs, as well as arcade machines, pinball and shuffleboard tables for those of you fancying a little friendly competition."
"The northern daddies of beer, BrewDog have set up shop in the city with a cool aesthetic and 36 draft beer lines. Perfect for craft beer in Leeds, you're bound to find something on their taps or in the bottles, while you munch on pizzas and play a game of shuffleboard or two."
"Sited at the top of Micklegate a few yards from the city walls this bar from independent Scottish brewing giants Brewdog opened after a protracted court battle with a local trader – much to the relief of their loyal following of fans in the York area. I say fans because Brewdog as a company have so far attracted investment in their crowdfunding equity scheme from over 100,000 loyal drinkers. The multi-roomed bar is huge."
"York Theatre Royal has been producing great drama in the beautiful city of York for over 270 years and is one of the country’s leading producing theatres. Each year the theatre entertains over 200,000 people with its wide variety of performances, events and activities including the much-loved annual pantomime starring Berwick Kaler, the UK’s longest-running Dame."
"The York Theatre Royal was built in 1744 on the site of the medieval St. Leonard’s Hospital. Parts of the old hospital can still be seen, including archways and walls. Under the stage lies a well, which is believed to be from the Roman era."
"Where: Leeds Playhouse, Playhouse Square, Quarry Hill, LS2 7UP. Leeds Playhouse is a theatre and events space in Leeds which is a must visit attraction. It shows a range of shows, varying from performances for children to modern European theatre."
