We love to talk, we love to listen and we love to share new ideas which means we love, love, LOVE our page of talks and discussions happening in Leeds.

With so many events about science, art, politics, culture, religion, music and history it's time to expand your mind and see what's out there!

An image of Leeds City Square in 1926, with model moot hall erected for the tercentenary celebrations of Leeds getting its charter. A large building facade with a white statue in a central alcove (Queen Anne) stands in the centre. On either side the dates 1626 and 1926 are etched in what looks like stone. This is entrance to a station concourse. Pedestrians are milling about in period 1920s dress. A policeman in a white coat and gloves stands beneath the arch directing people.
