After a lovely five days visiting my friend in Spain, I'm back and wondering what to do this weekend. If you need a few ideas, here are some things to do this weekend if you live in or near to Leeds, London and New York:
|
WIN
three big adventures or a pop-culture spectacular...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mountains of chips, loaded burgers and
chilli dogs. Wings so hot you have to wear gloves to eat them. The
biggest pile of fish and chips you'll ever see in your life. The city's
food challenges will put your stomach capacity to the test, but if you
can brave the meat sweats and handle the heat, you could be the all-time
champion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Leeds is a thriving digital hub – and
nowhere is that more clear than at Leeds Digital Job Fair. Back this
October, it will bring together an eclectic mix of start-ups and global
names, all looking to bolster their ranks. So if you're thinking about
your next move, clear your diary.
|
|
|
|
It's a big month on the event front with
everything from mesmerising light shows to big Oktoberfest shindigs
and zombie themed all-nighters. But with so much to choose from, you
might need a little help filling your diary, so check out our list of 50
must-do events.
|
|
|
The scariest night of the year is almost
upon us, but how will you spend it? You could dance the night away at a
spooky club night, hug your popcorn for dear life at a horror movie
screening or round-up the kids for a day of scarecrow trails and
Halloween crafts. The choice is yours.
|
|
|
|
Eating out on the cheap has never been
so tasty!
|
|
|
This is going to be epic! You can bag a
year's free travel with First Bus, along with three immense days out.
Enjoy a bang-up roast dinner at the Kirkstall Bridge Inn, see the set of
Emmerdale and channel your best Peaky Blinders at Wetherby
Racecourse.
|
|
|
|
To celebrate the launch of Make:
Believe, the new pop-culture exhibition at the Royal Armouries, we're
giving you the chance to win a fantastic prize. Be the first to see
their new Stormtrooper blasters, enjoy a two-course lunch, fire
a crossbow and more!
|
|
|
Eat out for less this month with these
cracking restaurant deals...
|
|
|
|
Hyde Park is a sprawling network of
terraced streets interspersed with cool indie shops, laid-back cafes and
traditional pubs. Here, in this urban maze, you can feast on one of the
most famous breakfasts in Leeds, enjoy a free afternoon tea in an old church
or see the latest up and coming bands on the stage.

on?
|

Car Park
King
Sun 27th Oct, 5pm
Described by The British Theatre Guide as ‘Horrible Histories for
grown-ups’, during its phenomenal sell-out shows in 2017,
‘Car Park King’ is an original comedy play about one of the most
controversial Kings of England, Richard III.
Add a drop of Monty Python, a dash of Blackadder and a sprinkle
of Spike Milligan and you have a side- splitting, bizarre,
unmissable comedy that is ‘Car Park King.’

As part of the Cultural
Community College, our Big Ideas series is all about
inspirational people discussing their passion projects. There are
two fantastic Big Ideas sessions in October.
