There'll be live storytelling, creative workshops, refreshments - and a chance to tell your own story. Pick up your free copy of the People's History of Leeds vol 2!

How did a Black tuba-player put Leeds at the heart of the jazz scene in the 1950s? Where was the first Sikh temple in the city - and who were the women who helped support it? How have Working Men's Clubs shaped the culture of Leeds? How did a mill in Farsley go from producing textiles to nuturing creativity? Who was the first female bouncer in Leeds? Find out at this very special celebration of what makes Leeds special.
