Sport and business was hailed as a winning combination for Leeds as the countdown to this year’s UK Corporate Games got under way in earnest.

It’s a real life storybook romance worthy of its very own festive fairy tale.

This Christmas, Leeds pantomime legend Jez Edwards will be taking to the stage at The Carriageworks Theatre alongside his beloved wife Gemma, 14 years after they first met performing in the very same production.

Bananarama, Johnny Hates Jazz, Midge Ure and voice of Five Star Denise Pearson have been announced as the special guest artists for the fifth edition of 80s Classical in Millennium Square, Leeds as part of next year’s Summer Series on Saturday 20 July 2024.

The popular Ice Cube at Christmas will once again be bringing some winter magic to Millennium Square, Victoria Gardens and Cookridge Street this festive season.

Taking place from November 24, the annual event promises a joyful experience for all ages, featuring an array of exciting activities and attractions including the much-loved outdoor ice rink, a range of Christmas market stalls and other winter themed attractions.

Dreams came true on the streets of Leeds last night as the stunning spectacle of Light Night returned.

The first night of the annual arts spectacular saw a host of the city’s most recognisable buildings and spaces lit up with an array of beautiful illuminated artworks from across the world.

A unique arts exchange project will see Europe’s cultural capital send a dazzling light installation to Leeds this week.

For this year’s spectacular Light Night, Leeds and Timisoara in Romania will each host stunning illuminated artworks created more than a thousand miles apart in cities both enjoying landmark cultural celebrations.

Timisoara is a current European Capital of Culture for 2023, whilst Leeds has spent the past year showcasing the best of its arts, culture and heritage during Leeds 2023.

The streets of Leeds will transform into a dazzling dream world next month when the exciting spectacle of Light Night Leeds returns.

The two-night cultural event will be back on October 12 and 13, illuminating some of the city’s most recognisable buildings, streets and spaces with a compelling programme of more than 50 arts installations.
