First pictures of huge Chow Down food festival at Temple Arches in Leeds

A huge socially-distant food festival has arrived in Leeds.

Chow Down festival is hosting a 10-week event in the disused railway arches on Globe Road. The unusual land on South Bank has been transformed into a socially distanced, open air drink and dining venue. There will be a whole host of independent food vendors and local craft breweries over the 10 weeks and the first weekend, which starts today, features Middle Feast, Kenyan-inspired grill Nyama Choma, Igloo Pizza Company and the Little Red Food Truck. Take a look around the festival with these 11 pictures from YEP photographer James Hardisty:
