The Viaduct Showbar is Leeds’ premier LGBTQ+ venue and the city’s top destination for cabaret. With drag entertainment seven days a week, the Viaduct prides itself on being a safe and welcoming space for the queer community. Originally a Leeds United supporters' bar, the Viaduct transformed into the much-loved showbar it is today in 2005.

Since then, it has showcased the best of UK drag and cabaret, featuring iconic performers like Myra DuBois, Danny Beard, and Drag Race UK alumni Cheryl Hole and Michael Marouli.
