Launched in celebration of this year’s Christmas pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk, one lucky grower will have the chance to win a family ticket to the festive extravaganza when it opens in November this year. Running from November 20, 2026 until January 3, 2027, The Carriageworks production of Jack and the Beanstalk will also see the return of the city’s panto legend Jez Edwards (pictured), who has been part of the Christmas in Leeds for the past 16 years.

With a keen interest in garden design and extensive botanical knowledge, Mrs Laura Gwendolen Gascoigne started transforming Lotherton Hall's walled garden into an ‘old-fashioned’ garden in 1893, filled with rose beds and herbaceous borders with scented flowers, tender creepers and perennials. Her husband, Colonel Frederick R.T.T. Gascoigne inherited the estate in 1893. Credit: Leodis.net
