Leeds Rum Festival 2024

Our longest running festival returns once again for the 8th Leeds Rum Fest - to bring you more Rum, infectious music, in-depth masterclasses and delicious food.

This year we are taking the party to Fearns Leeds Dock, who celebrate the creative side of Yorkshire, from farm to fork, people to products.

We are very excited to be showcasing over 100 rums available for you to try from all over the world. Each one is represented by experts ready to talk you through every sip.

Leeds Tequila Festival 2024

For the last two Summers, we have had the opportunity to showcase a new area of spirits for us - one we’ve always wanted to shout about, and we are thrilled to be continuing this for a third year. Fun and education are at the heart of what we do at Studio Events, so we were so delighted to see how receptive people were to the world of tequila.

Travels in Tibet

Tibet has a unique culture and a strikingly distinctive location on a high and massive plateau in the Himalayas. 

It was seized by China in the 1950s and has since suffered from repression. But it does what it can to preserve its distinctiveness, as Professor Joyce Hill saw when she visited it a few years ago. 

Her talk will set Tibet in its geographical and historical context and give us a flavour of what Tibet is like today.

Elvis Costello & Steve Nieve: 15 Songs from 50 Years

All four shows will have differing repertoires, with songs selected from each of the five decades of Costello’s astonishing songwriting endeavors.
