Join Leeds Civic Trust and local historian Clifford Stead (@biroguy) to explore 400 years in the life of Leeds, from the city's earliest merchants and markets, to its newest green development, Aire Park.

Take in classic Leeds sights like the Briggate Arcades, Kirkgate Market, Corn Exchange, the Waterfront and, for green spaces, Aire Park and Park Square.

Starting and finishing at Merrion Gardens.

Also next door at St Johns Church - Members of the Earl of Manchester’s Regiment of Foote, part of the Sealed Knot reenactment society, will bring the sights and sounds of the 17th Century to life with costumed reenactors with demonstrations of traditional crafts, talks about the history of the Civil Wars, and displays of musket, pike and sword.
