Act cool for back to school
Hey KAREN, summer hasn't even ended yet but we can't wait for back to school. We are getting new notebooks and pencil cases, pestering our teachers for the best school trips, and included them here so you don't miss out.
And for parents with too much free time on their hands we have linked to some of our adult talks and tours, so you can get your cultural mojo back after a summer of fun.
Best of back to school
Tell your teachers to book an awesome school trip
Our learning workshops are a fantastic place to start the year with a bang. You can explore our stately homes and learn the truth behind shows like Bridgerton and Downton Abbey, or visit the Discovery Centre and bask in the history of over a million objects.
Make sure to share your favourite workshop with your favourite teacher!
Our Talks, Tours and Workshops are here to give adults (maybe with some long lost free time) the opportunity to get cultural again. We have meditation events, behind the scenes tours, and guest speaker talks with a cup of tea, so you can enjoy some peace and interesting activities in our historic settings.
If all this talk of back to school isn't your thing, we still have over a week to make the most of summer! Our venues are still in the full swing of summer and we have plenty of activities and days out available for you to really make the most out of the the last week and a bit of the summer holidays.
Help shape our museums
You’ll be in with the chance to win £100 in vouchers!
We'd like your feedback about our museums and galleries. All data is kept anonymous and is invaluable for us to understand more about who our visitors are, as well as how we can improve and develop what we do across Leeds Museums and Galleries.

What's On This Week
Hello, welcome to your weekly film listings.
In a week where Ben Wheatley called Pictureville visitors "the luckiest cineastes in the country", why not join the fun and enjoy the bank holiday weekend with pop, print and Prince at Pictureville Rocks?
Keep scrolling to be one of the first to see Bradford-based crime drama The Ceremony, catch Princess Mononoke in IMAX, and discover which seventies sci-fi classic is our August members' screening.
What's On: 22 – 28 August
Friday–Sunday
Rock up and rock out at our celebration of music on film, with a full weekend of concert films, documentaries and musicals.
This year's headliners include Purple Rain on 35mm, cult musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch and, in a special late move, we are excited to announce we're screening Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars on a 35mm print from our own archive!
Sat 19.30
Ziggy Stardust returns to the world-famous Hammersmith Apollo in this screening of the acclaimed concert film from our very own 35mm print.
Screening daily (closed Mondays)
This award-winning debut feature by Bradford-born writer–director Jack King is a haunting, visually arresting road drama set against the raw beauty of Bradford and the Yorkshire Dales.
"Jack King’s black-and-white debut about Bradford’s carwash underworld is bleakly beautiful and superbly acted." - The Guardian
LAST CHANCE TO SEE:
IMAX: Princess Mononoke (PG)
Screening daily (closed Mondays)
This true epic by Japan’s master animator Hayao Miyazaki returns to the big screen.
One of Miyazaki’s most dark and mature films and certainly violent, Princess Mononoke is a fantasy epic with a dire environmental message. The end result is almost Kurosawa-Esque in story and structure. Whilst initial box-office was poor in the West, eventually became Studio Ghibli’s breakthrough film off the back of home video sales.
The Life of Chuck (15)
Screening daily (closed Mondays)
A life-affirming, genre-bending story starring Tom Hiddleston and based on Stephen King's novella about three chapters in the life of an ordinary man named Charles Krantz.
