As part of the 3rd edition of the Leeds International African Arts Festival LIAAF 2025! Leeds has untold stories waiting for you to find them.

Walk through the city’s past and see Leeds in a way you never have before. Led by Leeds Black History Walk (LBHW), this experience pulls back the curtain on hidden Black histories, from ancient African legacies to forgotten landmarks that shaped the city. This is history that demands to be seen, heard, and felt.

What’s waiting for you:

Stories that challenge everything you thought you knew about Leeds

A deeper look at Black history hiding in plain sight

Conversations that shift perspectives and leave a mark

This is not just a walk. It’s a chance to see Leeds through a new lens. Come be part of it.

Meeting Point: Parkinson Building, University of Leeds

Time: 90 minutes
