Looking for a chill space to celebrate Pride and also love to support queer bookshops?

Out + Loud is coming to Leeds for our first ever event in collaboration with The Bookish Type!

Pride Unplugged aims to create a space for queer people to share creativity in a relaxed environment as an alternative to often overstimulating Pride events. To sign up to perform simply email Out + Loud, there will also be a few spaces to sign up on the night if inspiration strikes. The setup will be mic-free, so everything will be acoustic.

Queer history is all around us. The building we walk past on the way to work might have witnessed the first meeting of a campaign group; the bus stop we use every day might be remembered fondly as the site of someone’s first kiss. But like many marginalised experiences, too often this history remains invisible.

On this walking tour, Kit will take you on a tour of Woodhouse and Hyde Park's queer history highlights. From early Pride to squats, from wartime genderqueers to gay hotlines, you'll see the city and its past in a new light.

Join internationally acclaimed burlesque artist and teacher, Aurora Nova, and her incredible students, for a glamorous evening of burlesque and dance in Leeds!

Hosted by one of UK's Top 10 burlesque and drag artists, Lilly SnatchDragon, Aurora Nova's annual Student Showcase is the one of the biggest and most spectacular burlesque and cabaret shows in Leeds.

Leeds is obsessed with all things Monopoly this summer but we know there was more to Waddingtons than Monopoly and there's much more to the Leeds board games scene. So much more!

On 8th September Cards or Die is running a special one-off event at Hyde Park Book Club as part of Leeds Civic Trust Heritage week.

We're bringing you an evening of Waddingtons' board games and the chance to play games that are often behind glass in museums. You could reminisce with a childhood favourite or discover an unknown classic.  

Party like it's the 80s with our live performer singing all your favourite 80s pop classics!

At Banyan Roundhay we're taking you back in time to the 80s! Featuring all your favourite 80s songs including Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Jump, Footloose and It’s Raining Men!

Leg warmers at the ready, because this event will have you up on your feet and dancing like it the 80s.
