Spring

Welcome to our page of family friendly events in Leeds.

You'll find things to do on sunny days, rainy days and also on those 'but I'm reeeaally bored' days.

Leeds is dedicated to being a Child Friendly City, so take a look and see what's out there!

Family Friendly Festival Food & Drink Market Outdoor
Three young children sit on cut tree stumps in a shaded woodland area, gathered around a larger stump being used as a table. They appear focused on a simple activity with small round wooden pieces and a bowl. Sunlight filters through the trees, creating a bright opening along the path behind them and giving the scene a calm, playful outdoor atmosphere.
