In November 2022 Leeds City Council's Employment and Skills Leeds and Leeds Culture Programmes hosted the first Leeds Creative Skills Festival. We welcomed over 2000 visitors to the Leeds first direct arena who spoke to over 60 exhibitors and attended a series of workshops and we are back for 2023.

We are currently accepting exhibitor bookings for the second festival which will be taking place on Monday 20th November 2023.

The festival is a unique opportunity to showcase everything Leeds has to offer in this sector.

One of our exhibitors last year told us:

“We were so inspired by the curiosity and energy of the young people and their parents and carers and others who showed up for the event. We had many great conversations. It was also fantastic to connect with other cultural organisations and find out more about what they're up to.” 

Would your creative or cultural organisation like to find out more about getting involved? We keen to link with organisations working in advertising and marketing, architecture, crafts, design (including product, graphic and fashion), film, TV, video, VFX and SFX, IT, video games, software and creative tech, museums, libraries, galleries, heritage, music, performing and visual arts and publishing.        

If you would like to learn more, or book a stall, please email the team at esemployers@leeds.gov.uk and visit us on LinkedIn https://tinyurl.com/LCSFLinkedin and Instagram @leedscreativeskillsfestival.

It's worth noting that stalls booked out early in 2022, so please act quickly if you want to be involved.
