Okay it’s not quite Paris, St Tropez or New York, but there’s no doubting Leeds is one of the finest cities on the planet to chill out in when the sun pokes its head around the clouds.
You have to admit that there is the odd city that beats Leeds for sheer prettiness, but there cant be many. Strap our white rose-tinted goggles on and well go ahead and put it up right there.
Leeds is littered with enticing pub gardens, from city centre loveliness to suburban greenery.
A hive of activity during the summer months, with a range of activities including the option to watch the biggest sporting events on a big screen, live music events and this year, even an outdoor cinema experience.
Love it or hate it, Leeds Festival is an event that really makes our fair city stand out from others, bringing some of the biggest names in the world of music right to our doorstep.
The longest running Caribbean Festival in the world, bringing all the sights, sounds, tastes and vibes of the Caribbean and parking them right down in our city.
