First look: Flagship Leeds cultural quarter aims to strike the right note

This is the new city centre development in a flagship Leeds cultural quarter which it is hoped will help create 'a world-class centre for the arts in the heart of the city'.

Opera North today released images of the scheme, part of its planned £12m regeneration project in the Grand Theatre Quarter, which will include a new education centre, a new restaurant and bar replacing a row of vacant shop units directly beneath the venue on New Briggate, and a new atrium linking the restaurant and bar directly to the Howard Assembly Room.

A public consultation event will be held at the Howard Assembly Room on Thursday, April 26, from 5.30pm – 7.30pm.
