weather has turned and we've got three weeks of rain ahead of us. Three
weeks! But don't worry, because we've got your back. From beer
tasting to swimming, caving and chocolate making, there's loads to keep
you entertained in Yorkshire. So if you're wondering what to do when the
heavens open, you've come to the right place.

This wonderful pop-up is the perfect way
to ease into the world of opera. For one night only, Opera
North will transform Brasserie Blanc into a bustling Parisian club,
complete with live music, a 3-course dinner and a palate-cleansing
Elderflower Collins, all for just £30.
|
|
|
|
Steins at the ready, a little slice
of Bavaria is coming to Leeds this autumn. Oktoberfest returns for
its fourth year at a brand new venue, Temple Arches. You can enjoy German
beer, food and culture as the oompah band gets you up and moving all
night long. Prost!
|
|
|
Endless Chinese, unlimited
curries and an ever-changing selection of juicy steaks, this is
what you can look forward to when you dine at the city's mouth-watering
all you can eat restaurants. So put on your stretchy pants and get ready
for an almighty feed.
|
|
|
|
Who's up for a legendary pub
crawl?
|
|
|
You've just moved to Leeds, so you're
probably wondering how you can make the most of your new home? From
epic pub crawls to food challenges, outdoor adventures and bonkers nights
out, here's everything you need to do while you're living in Leeds.
|
|
|
|
After a major refurbishment, Leeds
Playhouse is set to reopen. You can check it out at the Open Weekend when
they reveal their new digs to the public, and then it's business as
usual, so expect to be bowled over by Reasons to Stay Alive, Dracula and
The Wizard of Oz.
|
|
|
|

You don't have to be loaded to eat out
in Leeds. There are loads of bargain feeds just waiting to be devoured,
so get stuck in! From Sicilian street food to a takeaway roast
dinner, we've rounded up the best cheap eats in the city
and they'll fill a hole in your belly without making one in your

Kinky Boots is coming to Yorkshire on
its first-ever UK tour. This feel-good musical will take you on a
raunchy ride into the world of drag, brought to life with stunning
costumes, incredible moves and showstopping tunes by Cyndi Lauper. And
you can see it for just £20.
|
|
|
|
La bohème is one of the most popular
operas of all time. Why? Because it's a comedy and a tear-jerker,
all rolled into one. Sit back and let Puccini's unforgettable score roll
over you as you watch a tragic love story unfold on stage. This is bucket
list entertainment!

'Shared Roots': Adam Handling
and Ruinart
Witness
two creative worlds coming together in Adam Handling’s new dining
experience. Inspired by Ruinart’s latest annual ‘Carte Blanche’
commission by Brazilian artist Vik Muniz titled ‘Shared Roots’,
Adam has created a special menu which pays homage to the reliance
on nature in both winemaking and cooking. A series of six
works of art, ‘Shared Roots’ explores the relationship between
humans and nature, winegrowers and vines, and Ruinart and the
Champagne terroir. These ideas are mirrored in Adam’s new menu,
now available at his eponymous restaurant within
the Belmond Cadogan Hotel. Adam Handling’s menu is available until
13 October 2019. ‘Shared Roots’ will be on display at the Ruinart
Art Bar over Frieze from 3-6 October.
