This year, Printed Bound will take place on the first floor of our iconic 1912 Mill, with over 40 printmakers, studios, artists and collectives selling and exhibiting their work. Expect to see screenprints, monoprints, risographs, etchings, zines, handmade books and more. 

LEEDS 2023 has partnered with National Youth Theatre, Leeds Playhouse and Compass Collective to provide a free ten-day acting course for young people across Leeds and West Yorkshire. Everyone who has completed the course will get to take part in a large-scale immersive outdoors performance about climate change later in September, as a part of a LEEDS 2023 signature event.

This year LIFI23 will take over Leeds Playhouse from 27th-30th September to present its diverse programme of inspiring and educational discussions.

How would you choose to define ‘The Dash’ that separates the year you’re born from the year you die?

Come and experience Existence Theatre Group’s brand new, original, student-led performance, exploring themes of duality, necessity, legacy and fulfilment.

Set in Britain, ‘The Dash’ follows Edith, an obituarist who receives a mysterious unsigned and unpublished painting that holds a remarkable resemblance to her younger self.

Scarborough, presented by Leeds Arts Centre, is a play about a forbidden weekend away, where a couple does all the things you might expect a couple to do. But fear is in the air, and they daren't leave their seaside hotel. After all, at just fifteen years old, one of them is just a child... the other their teacher.
