ACCA Dance Theatre presents Occupational Hazard   Saturday, 28th September at 7.30pm Leeds based duo ACCA Dance Theatre presents their much anticipated first full length show: Occupational Hazard Fusing comedy, clowning and choreography, Occupational Hazard follows the day in the life of air hostesses Becky and Linda, ACCAirways’ creme de la creme on a low budget airline where casual sexism is normalised. Though at times tongue in cheek to entertain a plane full of passengers, the show delves deeper than the interplay between Becky and Linda, as they navigate consent and unsolicited touch as a female in the service industry, asking audience members to ride the waves of their individual emotional journeys. Bolstered by their shared experience, Becky and Linda declare a feminist emergency by the end of the show, and although the flight is scheduled to travel nowhere, perhaps lands somewhere in the land of empowerment and action. You’re in safe hands when you fly with Becky and Linda, so sit back, relax, and let them lull you into a false sense of security. Boarding passes at the ready, this flight is about to take off! ★★★★ The Stage "both deeply moving and seriously funny" Trigger Warning: The show deals with the themes of sexual consent, objectification and navigating sexism including the representation of sexual assault which individuals may find triggering. Audience participation is encouraged throughout, but not mandatory.   Important Information Slung Low at The Warehouse, Crosby St, Holbeck LS11 9RQ The entrance is on Rydall Place just round the corner. Wheelchair users and those with limited mobility are welcome to park on Crosby Street.  The nearest bus stop is on Holbeck Moor Road and we have bike storage facilities.  If travelling by car, please park on Ingram Road as parking immediately around the Warehouse is residents-only.

Glengoyne's stills are Scotland's slowest, this encourages the formation of "esters" giving Glengoyne its characteristically sweet, fruity taste. No peat is used in the barley drying process, allowing the subtle, complex flavours of slow distillation and exquisite wood to shine through. Glengoyne's natural colour comes from time and wood alone. The 18yo is the result of eighteen long years aging, a generous proportion of that in first-fill sherry casks. Usual price per shot £29.64 Our Price per shot £6.57     THIS WEEK LIVE AT THE DOMINO     SATURDAY - FUNK & GROOVE   18:30 - 20:30 Genevieve Begley  Jazz singer Genevieve Begley is with us for an evening of infectious Jazz, Pop and classic Soul.   Advance Ticket   21:00 - 23:30 Brothers on the Slide Brothers on the Slide are one of Leeds top Funk + Soul bands.

A Taste of Kerry

Our holidays reviewed in your words…     This was my second guided bike trip with Wilderness Ireland, and it was just as fantastic as the first. Our guides, Duncan and Katie were so helpful and took care of our every need. I appreciated their depth of knowledge regarding the local geography, flora and fauna, and cultural tidbits. Our accommodations were lovely, but it was the scenic beauty of the ride that took my breath away. I am so glad thatI have seen Ireland with Wilderness Ireland, and look forward to another trip in the future! Thank you so much.     Christine Lawson 25/05/2024 Bike Tour - Kerry Peninsulas     Read More Reviews
