A sound bath is a truly immersive experience. The entrancing tones gently settle you into a deep, restorative relaxation and many people attend to de-stress and find inner connection or healing. Sound baths, in particular, can quieten the mind and bring attention into the body in order to allow participants to become centred, grounded and begin to remove blockages and find purpose. Sound baths can often be more accessible to individuals who find traditional methods of mindfulness and meditation more difficult to practice. 

As we take this tour of the magnificent Leeds Minster, the different areas will illustrate its connections with previous churches on the site, with aspects of the history of Leeds and its people, with the wider world and the worldwide Christian faith. 

The tour, which is part of Heritage Open Days 2024, will last for an hour, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions as we go round. Please arrive in advance of the start time.

Stand up comedy at Headrow House every Monday.

One of the driving themes of Anthony Powell’s roman-fleuve, Dance to the Music of Time, is the contrast between those characters driven solely by power and those more in tune with life’s more sensual pleasures. Inevitably, time and fate catches up with each protagonist and the reader can ponder if their fates are justified or not. The New Sound, Geordie Greep’s debut solo album, often feels as if it is a rerun of Powell’s theme, soundtracked by a miscreant - and totally wired - Palm Court Orchestra. 

"This album was a self imposed ambitious project for us. Something to kick in the creative flow. The last few years, having been a challenging time in general, felt like a good time for a pivot. The last two albums were so guitar and keyboard centric, I wanted a weird and fun set of parameters for us to work with. I demo’d everything at home on cassette 4 track (harkening back to simpler times) using drum loops, and just had at it 'til I had a pile of “songs”.
